Well, some of you saw my posts about implantation bleeding, etc. It was just plain ol' AF. Onto the next cycle. I'm tying to decide if I want to do another round of Clomid (would be my third) or acupuncture... or both.
I ovulate regularly on my own, but the Clomid is supposed to produce more/better quality eggs.
Any thoughts, advice, etc.? Has acupuncture done it for anyone? Should I switch from Clomid to Femera?

I send you a hug! 
I have heard acupuncture work well for many people. It did not work for me personally (triggered 2 migraines) but I think I am very odd on this.
My other thought is that clomid can dry up CM. Is that a problem for you? If so, I would get some preseed. This is the first cycle I have tried it, and don't know yet if it worked.

@AmeliaBedilia: It actually doesn't dry it too badly for me. But, we do also use Preseed. That's too bad about your migraines! UGH!

I conceived after years of trying while going to the chiropractor to get my back adjusted. I am positive it had something to do with it. Good luck!

I heard that you should try things for 3 cycles before moving on to something else... How about combining the two? If you thought you had implantation bleeding was your lp short?

@Snowdrop: It was shorter than usual. It's usually 16-17 days. It was 14 this cycle.

I'm in the same predicament. I'm on my second round of Clomid with my OB, but I think I'm going to take a break from it next month and see an RE. I ovulated on my own without it also, and then first cycle it worked as expected and I O'd on CD18, this second cycle I didn't O until CD35, so I'm not even sure it did anything for me this time.

I'm sorry. 6 months isn't a long time in the TTC world to be trying, but I know it feels like a long time when you're really ready!
Is your doctor checking your lining, progesterone levels, all that? I would sit down with your doctor and see what her advice is and decide from there--maybe complete the testing?

@LittleLashesToes: that seems like a good long lp. Which would suggest good ovulation and progesterone as far as I know. Maybe give the clomid another go and try and get tested for auto immune issues?

@Happygal: so far, I've only seen my OBGYN. I have my first appointment with an RE next month. My current doctor has only checked my FSH and I had an HSG.

@Snowdrop: Hmmm. Hadn't though about autoimmune. Yes, I'll look into that. Thank you!
