If you are under 35 years the doctor's usually suggest one year of trying... over 35 get help if you haven't been successful after 6 months. My doctor included the fact that I had miscarried into the timeframe (so I got pregnant in Oct 1990 after endo surgery, miscarried in Jan, started clomid the following Sept 1991 - about one year after I started trying). I got pregnant the first month on clomid but miscarried again at 9 weeks. Had surgery again that Dec and all the endo was back - got pregnant using clomid the first month after that surgery (jan 1992) and also used progesterone supps... this time I was finally successful (Laura born 10/92). Now I am expecting my 4th! Good luck!! SarahB >
