Thank you for taking the time to read this. I'm 31 and have been trying for baby #1 since Jan. 2006. My husband and I started seeing an RE in April of 07 and all tests came back normal for both of us (SA, HSG, FSH, progesterone). I am hypothyroid, but all my tests come back normal so I am on the right dosage of synthroid. I have never been pregnant, and my husband has never fathered a child.
I am in my third cycle of clomid. My RE gave me a prescription for 6 cycles of clomid and said to come back if it didn't work. I was a tad surprised that there would be no appointments in the middle, no monitoring of any kind. I have ovulated every month on my own prior to this, with cycles ranging from 33-42 days.
I find I am feeling side effects of clomid more each cycle. For the past few weeks I have had minor pressure/cramps continually - much like PMS cramps, but milder. Should I be concerned that there is no monitoring? I have read about the affect clomid has on cervical mucous - I am concerned that this may be happening to me, but I won't know until my 6 cycles are up.
My RE is very busy and is the only one within 8 hours driving, so switching isn't an option unless I'm willing to fly somewhere.
Any advice?
