Chapter Three: Visiting the clinic

We found a nice doctor, who carried out the first tests. My cycle was regular, the hormones were OK, and everything was also OK with my husband. The doctor suggested that first we just keep a close eye on the cycle, so that we could make sure we had intercourse on the right days. After a few cycles, the doctor unfortunately moved away from the area, and his replacement was much less modern in his working methods – he said I should measure my temperature curves. After a few cycles he felt we should try clomiphene, because my eggs seemed a little too small. The whole story with the temperature measurements visibly stressed me, and I found the doctor too was not so nice. So, after 3 clomiphene cycles, I took a break.

In the meantime I had already pretty much given up hope. The doctor did not seem to take me seriously and was also not prepared to test the patency of the fallopian tubes because I had already been pregnant in the past. I tried to take my mind off it and became more involved in my job, which I enjoyed.
