Just had to respond because your problem sounds so familiar. I have had 3 miscarriages and then 2 chemical pregnancies while using clomid which just made my uterine lining worse. I have regular cycles which are also light and my leutal phase is about 11-13 days. I finally found a solution to my problem by just using progesterone suppositories starting 2dpo and continuing until 14 wks pg. which helped to stregthen my leutal phase and thicken my lining and went on to have a healthy baby finally. I am now pregnant again using just the suppositories. If you have not tried using just hormone replacement since you do ovulate(and I swear by the suppositories not the pills), it is worth a try before moving on the expensive injectables and monitoring. Best of luck!!
