| Hey Mash, not sure where you live, UK or US?
If you are in the UK then you really have nothing to lose by going to the Dr, if you have been trying for more than 2 years without success you are entiltled to free help on the NHS.
You and DH may need to do a couple of tests but nothing to be scared off.
Get all the info from everyone on here but try the Drs too. | | | | Status: Offline

| i dont know if it you'd call them heavy.. i do not have much bleeding - it comes out in form of blood clots and the first two days are pretty bad ... but as such its not heavy bleeding ....
sometimes, sex is painful - especially when i do it after a gap - lets say after my periods are over... but i do feel slight pain during sex... | | | | Status: Offline

| U sound bit lyk me hun, trying for about 2 years, and using condoms for first few months then nothing, my oh was using condoms for couple months then i went on pill for a few more months then went off it, and wasnt exactly proper trying , but ive always wanted a baby and he did and we just wasnt preventing ,its now been about 2 years since all that and still nothing  , but i havent yet used ovulation sticks, (ive got some here to use on next cycle) and i havent yet started temping (but have a temp here to start also) , and ive also just started taking certain vitamins lyk folic acid and epo etc, it could just be ur not doing it on the right days, you never no.
I really hope it happens for u soon hun and about the clomid thing, u cant really buy it without having it off a doctor, yeah there are prob websites on here u can buy it, but u dont know whats really inside it, and as meg said u could be doing more harm than good, if ur not already , try using ov sticks and temping for a few more months, if still nothing , go to doctors and they can give u tests and mabey put u on clomid if they think its right for u , gd luck to u chic xoxox | | | | Status: Offline

Everything you've said is screaming endo symptoms. I might be wrong, but don't take Clomid unprescribed until you can rule out this possibility. You truly could do more harm than good. I would make an appointment soon. The quicker you find out about this, the better off you will be. If it does happen to be endo, you might need treated in order to conceive. Please don't take Clomid without getting checked, just in case.
I'm really sorry to be saying that. I don't like saying things that aren't so positive. But, I'd rather you know what you might be dealing with. Good luck, hun!  | | | | Status: Online

Still wouldn't take Clomid or much of anything without getting checked first. Either is something you will want to know about before conceiving. Fibroids can (sometimes don't) cause problems post-conception. Endo sometimes has to be treated to conceive (obviously there are exceptions to every rule).
I'm interested in how this works out for you!  Good luck, hun! | | | | Status: Online
