Hello All - This is my introduction to you and your great support system. I have struggled with wanted to share with strangers in these past months, but believe I'm to the point now that no one I know wants to hear anymore!
I'm 34, DH 38 and we have been married for a year and a half (together for 7). TTC #1 for 18 months. I went off the BCP I had been taking for 14 years only to discover I probably never needed it! (I wish I had that money to pay for treatments now, geez). Anovalutory, too 3 rounds Clomid with + Progesterone check at day 21, but OB never did US, no luck. So, after more frustrating months of chasing a + OPK, I started at my RE. DH checked out ok last August.
Immediately she discovered I have PCOS! I'd never even heard of it. I started a Gluten free diet to gain control of something!ugh! and then had an HSG before starting Letrozole in Jan.
Jan 5mg Letrozole, HCG shot, US, Timed intercourse, 100mg Progesterone Supp.= BFN - same in Feb and March :-(
Then April we tried our first IUI, DH sample was not great this time, very discouraging after all those months. IUI#2 this month and a much better sample with a 33mm follicle and currently in the TWW! phew - feels better to get that out!
Glad to be here!!
