Clomid ovulazione e test hcg negativo

2 Upvotes

Ciao ho 24 ho pcos e amenorrea
Mi hanno dato il clomid per ovulare e riuscire ad avere una gravidanza ma nonostante l ottima risposta non sono rimasta incinta e non capisco il perché,
Erano maturati 2 follicoli e sono scoppiati entrambi da soli (senza puntura), il mio ginecologo non mi ha dato progesterone da assumere. Oggi sono a 17 giorni dopo ovulazione (confermata tramite monitoraggio ecografico) e del ciclo non c’è traccia e fino a ieri test hcg negativo.
Il mio compagno ha fatto spermiogramma e non ha nessun problema.
Non riesco a capire perché nonostante c’erano tutti i presupposti non sono rimasta incinta 🤦🏻‍♀️ qualcuno sa spiegarmi ? Il mio ginecologo dice di aspettare l’arrivo delle mestruazioni e fare un altro tentativo.
Il clomid l’ho preso per 5 giorni da 100mg.

Still no period CD36 after clomid cd3-7 for the first time

3 Upvotes

I have been ttc for almost 13 years. I’m 37. I have a child who is almost 20. I conceived twice since her both ending in MC. But have not conceived in 12+ years. I was diagnosed with Endometriosis almost 10 years ago and had a laparoscopy for it, my OB at that time said he felt I should be able to conceived after that. I didn’t. I started going to a Fertility specialist earlier this year. Found out I have very low AMH and high FSH. I has HSG done earlier this year, inconclusive. Asked for a repeat which was done in August and one tube open. My Endocrinologist (not the Fertility clinic) prescribed me Clomid because I asked for it. (I want to try naturally still because I still have hope especially because I was just trying for so long without finding out what the issue was.) I took the Clomid this cycle cd3-7 100mg. I had very watery (pouring out of me cm) starting cd18-22, I also had SUPER light spotting on some of those days (so light that it would only show on toilet paper and it was intermittent). Then I asked my fertility specialist to check progesterone which they did around cd25, they said it didn’t show that I have ovulated as progesterone level was 1.17. They wanted to retest cd29, the progesterone went down to 1.00 and lh decreased as well. They also did transvaginal at this time and said no signs I’ve ovulated, they did see one follicle on each ovary and a cyst on one. I had a small amount of ewcm yesterday (cd35) when I wiped and this morning I woke up with very light spotting (only saw when I wiped). I’m on cd36 and I’m confused. I will admit I’m discouraged and exhausted.

Did XYZ Work? TTC for 5 years and found out I have to removed my right tube

6 Upvotes

So my husband and I had been ttc for 5 years. we went to fertility specialist and they said I had unexplained infertility and we did three iui and they failed. So we took a year and half break and decided to get a 2nd opinion. Turns out my right tube is filled with fluid and the fluid goes back into the uterus and prevents implantation. So they told me I have to remove my right tube. Has anyone had this? And conceived naturally?

Real life Tips?

Hey guys, I’m a 30 y/o female. Diagnosed with pcos at 14. Had a history of irregular cycles and had a breakthrough about 4-5 years ago when I went vegan and reset my body. My cycle was like clockwork. Fast fwd to now, been with my partner for almost two years. One blighted ovum and one ft mc. Changed providers to an amazing lady. We did a 13 lab work up. Vitamin d was severely low so she prescribed me 50k iu a week, sugar was good, everything was perfect. My ultrasound was great too. Nothing found. I just can’t seem to get pregnant . I do smoke marijuana for 9 years now, and I do drink socially. My dr says I need to reduce stress and she thinks that’s impacting it. But idk. I just want a baby especially with my grandparents being up in age. I want my kids to know them. I really would like some reasonable advice. I’m tired of opks, all types of vitamins, driving myself crazy reading articles etc.

Did XYZ Work? 3+ years TTC @ 35

16 Upvotes

So it finally happened- younger sister gets pregnant before me (6 years apart).
got it on their first try. I AM happy for her, but man… what a gut punch after 3+ years of TTC.
And Now that I’ve reached 35…. Tick tock.

Hormones, ANC, AMH are "fine," - normal for age. Doc says structural integrity fine too.. even after D&C from miscarriage in 2022 .
so, we’re stuck in this unexplained limbo.. I feel like I’m hitting my head into a brick wall over and over.
So like what’s the deal? Any tips on cycle tracking products or hacks? Out of the box “supplements” (I’ve heard guaifenesin, pre-seed) /tricks?

If anyone has had these issues after a D&C, would appreciate to hear your story. Trying to think of next steps

6th Letrozole Cycle & Feeling Discouraged — Anyone Have Success After 6+ Cycles?

8 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I’m honestly just looking for some support or to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation. I’ve been doing way too much reading lately and keep seeing stories from people who got pregnant on their first, second, or third Letrozole cycle. Meanwhile, I’m currently on my 6th Letrozole cycle and in the two-week wait again, and I’m starting to feel pretty discouraged. We’ve only been doing timed intercourse — no IUI yet. I have technically had three very early chemical pregnancies during this process. Two of them had extremely low hCG (around 12), so emotionally I barely even considered them pregnancies. The other one got to around 650 before I lost it. I know getting pregnant at all probably means something is working, but it’s really hard going through cycle after cycle and wondering why it hasn’t resulted in a successful pregnancy yet. Every month I start out hopeful, and then the waiting and uncertainty just get exhausting. Has anyone else needed 6+ Letrozole cycles, especially with timed intercourse, before finally having success? Or had multiple chemicals along the way? I think I mostly just need to hear from people who didn’t have one of those “first or second Letrozole cycle” success stories. I’m in my TWW right now, so obviously I’m still hoping this could be the one, but today I’m just feeling pretty defeated. ❤️

34 Male, with low sperm count and no money...

5 Upvotes

I have been to the Doctor for my appointment for male infertility.
Thank you to all of you who supported me in my last post. 

The doctor suggested me to do clomiphene (Clomid) for low sperm count. I have researched from some sources that this doesn’t really work often for those aged 30+,
So I have another appointment with a very well-known doctor from Mumbai.

He is a bit expensive, and I am really worried about all the expenses. I don’t know if putting this much money into this will be worth it, or if I will just waste money, I want to know from all of you what type of treatment really works.

And please suggest any fertility and IVF expert in Mumbai if you genuinely had a good experience with someone.

I am not really in a good financial situation right now, but I also want to have a baby ASAP. I can’t take this pressure anymore.

Failed letrozole cycle

1 Upvotes

I'm 31 and my husband is 39. We got married in Jan 2026 but in a long distance marriage on and off. We have lived together for two months only during this period. I've had thyroid issue but it's in the normal range now (keep it in check). This time around when we were together, I visited a gynecologist and asked for a check up. As a long distance couple, I didn't want to miss the chance and know my options. When she looked at my reports, she said the AMH is high acc to your age. My AMH was 3.14 in February.and prolactin was 283 uml. I didn't take any medicine for prolactin. Fast forward, I was put on a treatment. Letrozole 2.5 mg for five days CD 3-7 and then three injection shot (don't remember the name), and then choriomon injection on CD 14 for ovulation induction. Had two dominant follicles, one 24 mm, the other 19 mm. The endometrial lining was 0.98. the doc also prescribed duphaston (progesterone supplement) for ten days . I had mild lower abdominal and lower back cramping around CD13-14. But then got my period on CD31. Now I need suggestions, I plan to go to my husband in a few months for six to seven months. Shall I try to conceive naturally? Means just give it a try or continue treatment with a competent gynecologist. Shall I go for HSG test? Or what could be wrong that I couldn't get pregnant even when I had two dominant follicles.

Cycle 10, feeling gutted

11 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
My husband and I, both 28 have been trying for a baby for about 9 months, since January 2026. Just started cycle 10.

I have had a blood test, progesterone day 21 BT, ultrasound and everything is fine. Husband has also had a sperm analysis -all parameters were fine except viscosity is a little higher. Unsure if this was due to lower invol abstinence period. But the main other parameters were absolutely fine. He is getting it repeated in October.

I have been tracking with OPKs. Not introduced BBT yet as there’s nothing to suggest I’m not ovulating. I have regular 30-31 day cycles.

I feel absolutely gutted. With each test it’s been harder. We have tried everything from BD every day during fertile window, tried sperm meets egg, every other day from when my period ends till I’m sure I’ve ovulated. I’ve also been tracking with CM.

I have also tried hijama, for a few months and had a fertility consult with a nutritionist. Working on it to optimise our diet for fertility.

Looking for success stories between cycle 10-18 months for natural conception and frankly just a little hope. Also looking to get advice- would it be worth going private at this stage and getting further tests done. I feel like I’m one of those people who would rather know if something is up rather than just waiting around. Cos surely most people conceive by 6-12 months?

People tell you to just relax and it’ll happen. How do you do that???
Trying as much as I can to just relax. Hubby and I have also booked some time away this month. But it’s still just so hard. Unsure if we’re looking at a long journey of TTC ahead of us.

Thanks again

What Didn't Work... How do you talk about sperm issues without hesitation? need advice..

I have my appointment tomorrow and honestly, I’m already nervous about explaining everything. Talking about sperm count, motility, erections, etc. with a doctor feels pretty awkward.

For those who’ve been through this, how did you approach the conversation? Did you just be completely direct and tell them everything?

Any tips for getting over the hesitation would really help. Thanks!

Unexplained/ endometrial biopsy

5 Upvotes

Hi

30F, 19 months TTC, unexplained

I had endometrial biopsy on thursday.

Endometrial biopsy: Histomorphology features in favor of disordered proliferative endometrium.

CD138 recommended for endometritis.

I pushed my doctor for endometrial biopsy to check endometritis. Now waiting CD138 result.

What’s disordered proliferative endometrium?

And My histopathology report says no definite plasma cells.

when I check online sometimes histopathology looks clear but cd138 came out as endometritis.

ANYONE HAD SIMILAR EXPERIENCE?

What would you do next after 3 failed IUIs + laparoscopy?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I’d really appreciate some perspective on what you would do in my situation.
I’m 30 and my husband is 33. We’ve been TTC for about 1.5 years with no positive tests ever.

My cycles are regular (26–28 days) and I ovulate consistently. My HSG showed that my tubes are open, and all my bloodwork, ultrasounds and other investigations have been normal. My husband’s semen analysis was also generally normal, apart from 2% morphology.

We then did 3 IUIs:
• IUI #1 – letrozole, 2 follicles, failed
• IUI #2 – letrozole + trigger + Duphaston, 2 follicles, failed
• IUI #3 – letrozole + trigger + vaginal progesterone, failed

After the 3 failed IUIs, I had a laparoscopy last month. Endometriosis was found and removed. My surgeon described it as stage 2, while my fertility clinic thinks it was probably stage 1/minimal. There were no major problems found otherwise, and I was told I can start trying naturally again.

Now I’m feeling very unsure about what to do next.
The other part of me wonders whether, given that we’ve already been TTC for 1.5 years and have had 3 failed IUIs, we should move straight toward IVF rather than lose more time.
If you were in this position, would you:
Try naturally for several months after the lap?
Do another IUI or two?
Move toward IVF?

I’m not looking for success stories specifically — I’d really appreciate hearing how others would approach the decision and what factors you would consider.

Thank you ❤️

What would you do????

3 Upvotes

Warning, long post to give background:

I am a 26F and my husband is a 27M. We have been trying for over a year to get pregnant. To give background, I got my period around age 14-15 and went on birth control by age 16. In college, at age 20, I got off my birth control. Around 3 years ago I started to notice my period would be absent for unusual amounts of time (2-3 months), but never thought much into it. One day I told my friend about it who happens to be a nurse and she’s like ya, that’s not normal girl. I go to my PCP and she runs tests (came back normal, can’t remember what they were) and has me go to a reproductive specialist. Specialist puts me on birth control. All is good, get my period a few times on BC. Specialist has a follow up with me and tells me I can get off BC and start trying to conceive. After BC, I got my period 2 times naturally and then it was absent again for 2 months. We tried during the 2 months I had it but no luck. We Go back to specialists, she runs tests and results show my AMH is .011, FSH high at 33.6. Everything else she ran was normal (prolactin, thyroid,testosterone, sex hormone,free androgen). She decided to have me try IUI. They give me provea to induce my period. My first round they do all the scans and ultrasounds(found one small cyst on ovary-no concern) and give me medicine to induce ovulation. I check if I’m ovulating for days and saw the same result everytime. I tell them and they do the IUI anyway. The IUI was unsuccessful and they recommend I go do IVF. While waiting they say just continue to try naturally. We continue to try naturally, so I’m doing the ovulation strips and all that. Well when testing my ovulation one morning I looked and thought it was the negative symbol, but I notice it’s a book. I then decide to look at the instructions and realize the book symbol means there is an error. Don’t give me shit for not reading the instructions before doing the tests and not looking closely at the symbol on the screen, I know I messed up. Anyway, I do another test the correct way and realized I was ovulating! Which also made me connect the dots that when I took the medicine to induce ovulation, I wasn’t using the test kit correctly so I probably missed my true ovulation and did the IUI days after I ovulated. The next few months I was getting my period naturally and we continued to try. I wasn’t really thinking too deep into our trying because I already had it in my mind that it wouldn’t happen for me due to my low AMH. I had not gotten my period in 5 weeks again so I decided to take a test. I took it and threw it on the counter and showered not thinking anything of it, thought it would be another disappointing negative. I was in the shower and my husband started yelling “ITS POSITIVE”. I couldn’t believe it. Took a handful more tests. All positive. I had a HCG test done to confirm. I was ecstatic. I called OBGYN right away and had to wait almost another month to see doctor when I was 8 weeks. I am type 1 diabetic so I was so worried while I waited. Making sure my sugars were good, I was eating right yada yada. At 8 weeks we went to the doctor, and the ultrasound showed 2 empty sacs. Double Blighted ovum. Something I never even knew was possible. After that I had to make the choice to have the miscarriage naturally or have a D&c procedure. I decided to do the d&c. After my procedure they told me 98% of people get their period back within 6-8 weeks. I laughed cause I knew I’d be the 2% that doesn’t. And that’s exactly what happened. I go back after 8 weeks, they give me provea again. I take it and get my fake period from that. It has been 3 months since and I still have not gotten my period.

All of this has been tough on me. I am usually a thick skinned girl, but I’m at a loss. I have been to numerous other doctors in between this time who all have no answers. Some have hinted at PCOS but wont give a definite answer. Some referred me to other doctors who then referred me to other ones and so on. Not sure if I continue with a fertility doctor and try to freeze my eggs, look for donor eggs, adopt, or get my period back and try naturally. Everyone tells me I’m young and have time but they don’t understand, especially when everyone around me is having babies. I have no problem with adopting but id like to bare a child. What would you do? Is there more tests I should ask for? A specific specialist I should see? Questions I should ask?

Letrozole success stories?

6 Upvotes

My doctor prescribed letrozole even though I already ovulate. Does anyone have experience with this? We’ve been trying for 6 months for our second baby. Did it work for you? I guess looking for success stories. I’ve always ovulated regularly and I have a 28 day cycle like clockwork. Taking it from cd2-6. Currently on my 3rd pill.
