Hi ladies, so I took a FHS test, & I tested at 3.1 (mIU/mL). Doc said these numbers were good. My fiancé tested his semen, and he checked out to be fine, too. But the doctor mentioned his volume was a little low but nothing serious to worry about (thank goodness bcs he’s 49 yrs old).

However, my doc & I realized that my periods were irregular. I used to be 28 days, & it changed 7 months ago to day 27, 28, 29, 30 or 31 @ the very latest. He thinks we can’t capture when I ovulate or if I even ovulate at all. There is no consistency in days that I start. They average within all those days. I mostly see day 29 and 30. But it varies...

My doc thinks I should relax, do yoga, maybe bring down my BMI. I’m 5’5 and weight 163, so I can lose more weight. But I also have more muscle than fat. And I also got prego when I was heavier, so I’m confused (however I was a bit younger. Got prego at 34 and the second time around at 36).

I feel like a few months ago there was a shift in my cycle. In fact one cycle I swore I was prego. My body was having weird fever, hot flashes, dizzy, cramps, breast were tender, felt sick, & I started my period. What was weird after that experience was that I was still lightheaded for two weeks after. I should have gone to the doctor. But it went away. I feel since that cycle I been a bit off. I mean I get my period every month! (Or maybe the D&C; i got messed me up-who knows).

So, here’s the point to my long story. I don’t get why my doc won’t prescribe Clomid to me? He wants me to wait another 6 months. I’m 38, I have no time to waste. Should I get a second opinion? He said if I don’t get prego within 6 months, then he’ll send me to an infertility doctor. I’m with Kaiser, and I been ok with them. I just don’t get what’s the hold up though? Any suggestions out there ladies?
