MY FERTILITY JOURNEY: My Fertility Journey

Assalamualaikum and good day,

As promised, this entry will talk about my fertility journey towards conception. When we were in our early marriage, we never suspected that we have a problem on having a child by our own. It all begun after 9 month in our marriage (as what I said on my previous entry). One of my friend sugest me to see obgyn and ask for clomid. She told me that clomid will helps women to get pregnant. So I did. My husband faithfully giving me full support by accompanying me to the clinic.

The obgyn scans me and he said I can conceive. But still, I suggest him to give me Clomid as I have problems with my menstruation. So he agreed. He gave me 50mg white,round and small tablet to consume Day 2-Day6 during menstruation. I'm happy that I get the medicine altogether with Progesterone tablet(which I did mention that round white tablet to stop my menses). He did not said anything to monitor my cycles and I thought maybe it was the clinic's procedure.

*Information about clomid can be found out in many online websites. Here, I've listed some of them.

So, here it goes my first attempt on consuming Clomid. At that time, I really don't know what's going to happened, the side effect and everything. I did my own research on clomid but not so indepth. Luckily, I get to know my ovulation date by using Ovulation Predictor Kit(OPK). So, we BD on the date I saw my OPK positive. For me all this are my biggest experience to my fertility journey.
