Dear Doc

On the 1st of Jan 05 I stopped Triphasil and we conceived in April 05. I had a healthy pregnancy and a vaginal birth, only complication was a postpartum hemmorage.

I went on Triphasil again in Jan 06 when my son was 6 weeks old. I stopped it again in June 07 whereafter I had regular 28 day cycles but we still used condoms as we only wanted to start trying in Dec 07. When we started trying in Dec 07 my cycles all of a sudden went haywire, shortened to about 22 days. That continued, sometimes I would have a 28 day cycle, but with spotting about 5 days prior to menses.

Between Dec 07 and today which is the 22nd of September, I am moving onto cycle 12. My gynae did put me on 25mg of Clomid last month, on which I ovulated CD 13 (on CD 10 the scan showed the only follie at 20mm) but again started spotting on 10 days post ovulation.

This month again 25mg of clomid and I ovulated on either CD 12 or 13. I started spotting at 10 dpo and today at 11dpo menses (blood clots)

My gynae did say that ovulating too soon means that the egg quality is very poor.

What could I do? I am thinking of going on back on Triphasil for 3 months to try and regulate my cycle again and then try immediately after I go off it again. Do you think that would do any good? The other alternative could be to go on 50mg clomid this month but would that not shorten my cycle more?
