Lots of tears tonight

Martysgirl99 · 10-13-2008, 02:13 AM

I am so discouraged. I have been on Met for 4 months, lost 30 pounds, but still no ovulation. No periods. Tried clomid...no ovulation with that either. My husband has resigned himself to the idea that I will never ovulate, so he feels like he has no reason to have sex with me. I am just so depressed. I don't know what to do.

I am so sorry.

I don't think that "normal" people realize the toll that this can take on a marriage. It's rough on people, both partners.

Time to remind your dh that sex isn't just for baby making but for FUN!!! lol I wish you the best.

Firstly, did they check your thyroid? If its not between 1-2 then it could be causing problems. Mine was 6 which is still relatively normal and yet after I pushed for synthroid I feel so much better. Another thing, try the alternative remedies! The board on it is just SO helpful. Vitex and flaxseed helped me and many others, look into these options as they are often overlooked and can be quite useful

I'm so sorry for you

That's awful about your husband being so unsupportive. Have you tried talking to him about this is affecting you? Not only is sex supposed to be fun, but it's a stress reliever, and a way to stay connected to each other. I can empathize, and I hope things work out for you ((hugs))

Good luck

Marty's girl, I am so sorry

Are you being treated by an RE? Its only been 4 months... there are other options. How many cycles of Clomid have you tried? Sometimes it takes a few cycles.

Take a peek at the infertility and TTC forum http://www.soulcysters.net/infertility-trying-conceive/ You'll find many women who have been in your position and have gone on to have beautiful babies.

Cry tonight if you must, sometimes we all need a good cry. But get it all out of your system and pick yourself up tomorrow. If you really want it, dont give up

I would try taking Cinnamon. I get it at GNC. It makes me have normal periods. Met alone does not.

I know exactly how you're feeling. My husband and I went through the same thing. After a month of no intercourse (which is a very long time for us) I finally broke down and told him that it was bad enough that I felt that I was broken (since I wasn't ovulating), but then he was making me feel like I wasn't attractive and that he didn't want me anymore. But then he explained his side of it. He felt like I was trying to time intercourse and was making it a chore instead of something pleasurable.

That's when I decided to stop giving him daily updates on my ovulation. I tell him when I have dr appts and I tell him when I start new meds, but I don't tell him when I'm testing my ovulation. Now, our sex life is back to the way it was before we were ttc.

I know how u feel, ive been there and done it and got the t-shirt!!

For a while the only reason i was having sex was to get pregnant, and it was no longer but fun but 'Routine' it felt horrible, it really did, but i do agree though with the other girls, its not all about getting pregnant its about fun, but at the time you dont care about the fun aspect but to get pregnant, thats the way i felt anyways, as you can see i now have a son, and as long as it took to get him, he is here.

You know...even taking all these drugs wont help u get pregnant if your stressed, i think the reason i got pregnant both times, was both times i was on met, but putting that aside, i at the time when i got pregnant had given up and thought i was never going to get pregnant, so i stopped trying, stopped charting, and just let things go with the flow, i didnt think about it, and those both times i got pregnant and i think it was a mixture of metformin and not being stressed that gave me 2 bfps, i really do.
