I am a 29 year old struggling with fertility problems. I have had an eating disorder for 21 years and have no natural menstrual cycle. I have had a horrific miscarriage and 5 unsuccessful cycles of ovulation induction with clomid. Join me on my journey through 6 cycles of superovulation and intrauterine insemination. The highs and the lows, I will chart them all here. We can get through this togetherx

Day 10
Today I have felt as if I am on my period but of course am not. Had niggling back pain and heavy stomach. Had lots of stringy clear discharge too. This combination is making me wonder if I am ovulating today and so am worried we will have missed our opportunity as their is an abstinence period of 3 days before insemination which would be expected on Friday or Monday. I phoned the clinic with my anxieties and they said it was unlikely to ovulate this early but not impossible and when have I ever followed expected protocol? Trying not to worry or even think about it because until tomorrow nothing can be concluded. I need to get my head around the reality that this cycle is unlikely to result in pregnancy. Rather it will give a guide as to how the next cycles should be managed and what dose of medication I will need.
