Lavender- Ok, we are about the same age also. :) Just wondering, what makes you think you may not be ovulating? Have you had ultrasounds and/or tests?? It coudl just be a simple hormonal problem that can help... My periods were always abnormal and would go 3 months without and never knew when it would come. I also only ovulated a couple times a year. After my 3rd loss, I found out that my body doesn't produce enough progesterone. I guess it did the few times I got pregnant, just enough to get pregnant but not enough to keep the pregnancy. The longest one was 12 weeks, but stopped growing at about 7 weeks. Had a heart flicker to 12 weeks though. After many test and the D&C it was found that I have "luteal phase defect"... so, once I found out I was pregnant again, I would have to go on progesterone supplements right away. Well, I concieved before my first AF after my last loss at 5 weeks post m/c... and went on progesterone supplements right away. The levels still weren't real high, but just enough to keep the baby. Not hes one month old. Unfortunately it took 3 losses to figure it out... but, now I have learned so much about my body, my cycles, etc. I am glad I never took the clomid. Its still in my medicine cabinet. Hubby and I have been married for 4 years and never used protection and just now have a son. My best advice is to ask the doctor about testing after your next AF. They test your hormone levels day 3 post AF, then maybe day 7, and definitely after when you should ovulate to see if ovulation occured. Once the rule out hormone problems, and if your not ovulating and not concieving, then they may give you clomid.. the smallest dose to start. YET, dont just take it until they test other things first. ANYHOW, I am sure it will happen in no time and you'll have a baby in your arms soon. :)
