Hi,
I just need to share my story (with people who hopefully understand)...
In December 2015 I took my last pill, so from January I could finally get pregnant...
This was a moment that my husband and I had been looking forward to for quite some time. I had always put off this desire (for my job... visibility on a permanent appointment in education... well... it offers more security... I sometimes regret waiting for that now...).
At first, I had some trouble getting my period... The gynecologist said this could be normal, but as long as there wasn't too much time between cycles, I shouldn't worry... If I wasn't pregnant within a year, we'd look further...
Now, I hadn't had my period since late August... So I went to the gynecologist in October... She looked at my cycle calendar that I kept... From this, it became clear that I probably only had 3 or 4 ovulations...
She gave me pills to induce my period and also gave me Clomid for the first time (1 pill)...
My body responded very well to this, because I immediately had a very nice egg that was ready to pop on day 12! That evening I was allowed to inject Pregnyl... Unfortunately, it didn't work the first time...
The second time, back to 1 pill of Clomid and on day 12 again a nice egg, immediately Pregnyl...
On January 10th I did a test and I was pregnant!!! HOORAY!!! 1 year after starting! I was so happy!
3 weeks later, it was over, after a regular blood test it turned out that my pregnancy hormone levels hadn't risen enough... Straight to the gynecologist... The baby had stopped growing... I had to take pills to induce the miscarriage...
Now I've had my 2nd Clomid course (after my miscarriage)... Today my period started... So it didn't work out...
I find it hard to find someone in my circle to talk about this with... Because everyone gives the same answer; 'You shouldn't be so focused on it!'
Yes, very easy to say, especially when both sisters-in-law are pregnant and when one is pregnant by accident which actually comes at a bit of an inconvenient time (while it won't work for you!!!!) and my other sister-in-law is due 2 weeks earlier than I would have been if I hadn't had a miscarriage... It's painful to see her belly grow and realize that mine could have been like that too...

Hi Nimw,
Hang in there!
My story sounds a lot like yours!
Stopped the pill in December 2015... my cycle just wouldn't kick in... until August 2016 (!) I got my first tiny bit of very light period while on holiday (holiday.. relaxation.. no stress? I don't know). Then another 2 months of nothing.
In the meantime, I also took pills to induce a period.. they did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for me!
After that, my gynecologist gave me Clomid to test 'blindly' to see what would happen.. I didn't really feel like going down that whole medical rabbit hole.. so I just put them aside.
It wasn't until December 2016/January 2017 that I finally got a somewhat regular cycle (after a whole year!) of between 34 and 37 days, still long and irregular though..
End of March / beginning of April this year, I held a positive test in my hands... I'm now 6 / 6.5 weeks.. I'm terrified that something is wrong...
I know how you feel! Not because of a miscarriage, of course.. I'm really, really sorry for you.. but you have to remember that in the early stages, the miscarriage rate can be up to 22 percent.. so it can happen to even the most 'fertile' women and those with regular cycles too!!
Lots of love
