If you do not successfully ovulate you will probably want to try clomid which will "induce" ovulation. I am currently on my 3rd round and am on day 9 of my cycle so I'll ovulate in the next 5-6 days and hopefully get pg this time. I have very few side effects of the clomid and have nothing but great things to say about it. Stacy's comments aren't completely true. That case does not pertain to all women. From a view of a nurse and a endo suffer, I can say you might ovulate everyother month, 2 times a year or not even at all (and everything in between). Hopefully there is a good fertility specialist in you area that can help you, if you aren't successful in concieving soon. GOOD LUCK!!! Amanda
