All new to this...

Hi, I have been trying ttc for over a year and although I know it hasn't been too long, I'm really struggling with feeling very low. My partner and I have been together for nearly 13 years and we are both terrified that this new challenge could be the thing to break us!

I have been to see a specialist and everything seems ok apart from the fact that I am not ovulating. I have been given a prescription for clomid but after seeing an acupuncturist they suggested I should not take it because of my emotional state. I agreed with her and am planning on doing 3-6 months acupuncture to support my low mood and general health and then maybe start the clomid. I know everyone has their own battles but I really didn't expect everyday of this to be so hard.

Hi Hopeandhopefully. I think that if you are under 35 years of age, then maybe try the acupuncturist to start off with to get you into a better frame of mind, then move on to the Clomid if no joy. Occasionally acupuncture can help regulate ovualtion, so fingers crossed! Good luck! Diane

Thank you, it reassures me that you have said what I have been thinking. I am 33 so I think I might give acupuncture six months before trying clomid. When I read about the side effects from taking clomid it scares me at the moment.
