Infertility

Newbie Here! (Losses mentioned)

Hi everyone! I have been on the GP board on The Nest for about a year, and with our recent decision, thought I would make the jump over here.

A little about me- Mr and I have been TTC for 2 years and I was diagnosed with PCOS in August 2012. We have done 4 rounds of Clomid, all unsuccessful and 6 Femara/Follistim IUIs. We have had 3 chemical pregnancies (one of which was at 5 + 3 weeks- no sac, so not a clinical pg). I have had mild OHSS twice.

We are moving forward with additional testing and gearing up to start stims for our first round of IVF at the end of May. We go see our RE on Monday for a full day of consults, testing, finance meetings- the whole nine yards. I have a huge list of questions, and while I am nervous/anxious, we are very excited.

Mr and I have one furbaby, Bella, we love to travel, go to the beach/lake, watch college football and basketball, read and drink wine. I'm looking forward to getting to know you all over here and providing support!

  • hi sweetpotato! I'm new here too, and have also had losses.  I have a recessive genetic defect that was passed on to my boys. Dylan lived for 2 months, and Noah for 2 hours.  They recently found the gene that has the defect and now we can do IVF with PGT. Our first set of consults start next month! Hope everything goes well on Monday!
