DH and I have been ttc for 16 months with no results. We are bbt, using opk's, using instead cups, and doing the deed on days when I'm most fertile. My cycles are fairly normal 26 day cycles with a LP of 14 days and my opk's are always a strong dark color. But no dice. We were very optimistic when we started, he was 26 and I was 30 and I really didn't figure that it would take us this long to conceive. Now 16 months later I'm terribly depressed. It has become hard to get my O because I emotionally have just about given up. DH's plan does not cover fertility, and therefore we're having problems getting anyone to help us. I would be willing to order Clomid online, but I don't know of a reputable site to order from. We are looking desperately for help. I know there are ladies on these boards who have sucessfully conceieved with u/p clomid. If anyone can point me in a good direction, my DH and I would be so happy.

Hopingforbabies- you should have your DH get a sperm analysis. You sound like you have a normal cycle and ovulation and that's why I say you should have your husband get tested. He could possibly have low sperm count or motility. Your regular doctor could give you a prescription for the sperm analysis, but you will have to pay for the actual test. The test only costs around $50, and even less depending on the lab. Also you might want to check your cervical mucus to see if your getting fertile cervical mucus around ov. If you don't have fertile cervical mucus, the sperm could possibly be dying before even entering the uterus. Just some things to look into, I hope this helps!
