Hi Fernanda,
There are several points to clarify. You say you ovulated on clomid, but the new doctor said that your follicles didn't rupture. But this is a clear contradiction as ovulation is follicular rupture. How was ovulation diagnosed earlier?
As I pointed out earlier, infertility treatment is no F1 race, as there is only one ocasion to get pregnant each month. Completely healthy couples have approx. 85% chance to get pregnant in 12 mo. So 7 mo is just the beginning.
Looking forward to your answers
Sam
