Conflicted - let it go another cycle or try meds now
I came here to post this because my Reddit peeps have never let me down!
For context, I have one son 16 months old. And we are trying for baby #2.
Timeline: I went off my birth control on August 15. Had a withdrawal bleed on September 15… So I really thought things were gonna go well. Then I did ovulate around November 13 (day 60 of my cycle) but had a period five days later. On Nov 19 went to ob….
My doctor asked me when do I wanna get pregnant again… And I said well now would be good. So what he wants to do is for me to take Provera starting on day 20 of my cycle as long as I haven’t ovulated take that for 10 days then on day three of my withdrawal bleed, I would take Clomid. So now we are on day 21 and I am conflicted on whether or not to take the medicine.
For context, I did ovulate on day 23 with H.
Everyone who I have talked to, is so concerned about me taking these meds except for me and my Dr…. Things they have said “you’ll end up with triplets” “this could be a quintuplet problem” “you just started trying” “your body isn’t ready yet and it’s telling you that” “be grateful you have one healthy baby” “if you just have H then that would be ok”
But really that would not be okay I would like to have two or more kids.
So I think the options are let it go another cycle and see what happens… But what if I never ovulate what if this is the beginning of another 65+ day adventure…
Or do I start taking these meds on day 23 if I haven’t ovulated? Still holding on to hope maybe I would ovulate…
My LH tests have been so negative they are almost reading 0
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE
