Pregnancy Info HOME

Thank God I found you all! I am 36 yo with a 4 yo son. I became pregnant with him on our very first try. We have been trying for about 4 months now, and I think I may have been pregnant this month. Then, of course, the Bloody Curse came. Looking at my monthly charts, I noticed I am having a luteal phase of 10 or 11 days. It made me wonder if this could be why I am having probs conceiving. I know, I know, not enough time to really know. But I really do think I was pregnant this time. And I can't stand the thought of trying every month if I am only going to lose it because of possible low progesterone levels. Dr. said she would put me on clomid, but will that be enough? Does clomid elongate your luteal phase? I am to see her on Tues. I asked her nurse if the dr. might prescribe me progesterone supplements to help my luteal phase. She said probably not because that would be infertility treatment and the insurance won't allow them to refer me for "infertility" treatments until 1)we have been trying to get pregnant for a year, and 2) until my hubby has been checked. I know I am not OLD, but I am getting older every single day. I do have hypothyroidism- I think this has added to my hormone probs. I am so upset that no one seems to listen to me. If my dr. will not prescribe the progesterone, I do not know what I will do. Should I just take the clomid and pray?
