I began taking Clomid some time ago. I became pregnant last January, but miscarried in April. I have been taking Clomid again for about 7 months, but have not yet gotten pregnant. I am really discouraged. This time of year is difficult, especially, when I see so many families with their new babies. Has anyone else had this experience? How do I get through this and what is my next step?

I have totally been there. It's rough. I took clomid for several months and did not get pregnant. I had a little endometriosis so after that my doctor put me on Lupron for 6 months. It chemically induces menopause (it also turns you into an evil psyco -I'm not the only one I know who had that problem). After the treatment you are supposed to be extra fertile, but still I did not conceive. We went to a fertility doctor and considered in-vitro, but the cost was so high for a 50-50 chance that my husband and I decided against it. We felt that when it was time for me to be pregnant it wouldn't take that much effort for it to happen, it just would. We adopted a newborn baby boy on our 8 year wedding anniversary. It was a great joy for us. It made all the years of trying and waiting melt away like they never happened. It felt like a whole different life. Adoption is a great experience. If you feel it might be the answer for you, that might be your next step. Once you hold that baby in your arms it doesn't matter that you didn't carry it in your body for 9 months, you just bond like crazy. Sometimes you might even forget that you didn't carry that child. It's amazing! One year after we adopted our son, I discovered I was pregnant. I gave birth to a healthy baby girl, then 18 months later I gave birth to another healthy baby girl, and I am due to have a baby boy in April. Good Luck to you in your trying! I know how difficult it can be, but just keep trying and one day you will hold your own baby (whether adopted or biological) in your arms and feel the love and fulfillment that comes from being a parent.

I am soooooo with you on this one. We had a little girl 4 years ago. We have now been trying for 3 years. I have been through the whole Clomid thing with no success. I have also had an insemination with no success. My hubby and I have both been tested with no real reason for not being able to conceive. I have been through friends and family having babies in these past few years. I always try to be happy for them and I am but I can't help but be a little jealous (sounds childish, I know). Good luck to you, you are not alone and the baby will come when it's meant to happen - at least that is what everyone says to me!
Sending baby luck your way.
