[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I like the idea of random thoughts.

My random thought is rather a random panic.

I went off the pill and never got a period (went on the pill because they were MIA so this was no surprise).  I responded well to Clomid but had a thin lining.  Now in the midst of my first injectables cycle and things are not going well.  I’ve been on a low dose but STILL going on day 20 of stims (which I have NEVER heard of) just starting to see estrogen climb (climbed initially and then plummeted).  I would be okay with this except my lining is STILL thin.  It was decent (but not great) when my estrogen first went up but has been 6-6.5 since.  My fear is that Clomid was not the problem and that I’m the problem.  Since my periods have been pretty much a trickle for 15 years I’m panicked I just don’t create a lining (or I’m doing something – like remaining too active – to prevent one from growing).

My other fear is trapping my SO with an infertile wife.  We’ve been together for years but started TTC before marriage.  I know it upsets him to discuss but I don’t want to say “I do” knowing I might then hold him back from a life dream.  He says we have a lot to try before I jump to conclusions but I figure if Clomid and injectables both yield a thin lining, not much more can be done (yes premature panic given I’ve seen only one RE).

13:23 Have you gone through other treatments and moved on to IVF.  I’ve been assured that injectables with IUI and IVF are pretty similar upfront, with retrieval and transfer being the big differences (and dosage of medications I am guessing).

14:29 I haven’t had an IUI yet (5 Clomid with TI cycles).  Good to know it might not be a cake walk.  I’m sorry it hurt but will hope that means the sperm ended up right where they need to be.  Any plans for your TWW?  Given how long my cycle is going I predict either a cancelation or I may end up on the West Coast for vacation during.  I wouldn’t mind the distraction but would kind of like the go ahead to wine taste if this cycle is going to be a bust.
