Trouble TTC

Intro - TFAS (child mentioned)

Hi, my name is Megan.  I've been participating pretty regularly in TTGP board since I got Mirena out last August and been lurking lately here and the other IF board, but *think* I fit better here since I really don't have an official IF diagnosis.  I've been having long cycles (lots of variability in length, but right now averaging 50 days).  I am on cycle 7 / month 11.  My first 2 cycles were anovulatory, and now I ovulate, but really late in the cycle.  I've already tested for PCOS and Cushing's and don't have either, so it's been just a grind of temping and going through tons of OPKs trying to pinpoint O so I can actually get some timing in.  I started acupuncture in April and I just had my first RE consult today.  I'll be starting a testing cycle with Comid next week.

I have a 3 year old son with DH who keeps me on my toes.  We've been married 3.5 years and have 2 Pekingese dogs.  I look forward to getting to know the members here on the board!

    Thanks @ReesaAnne16 - long cycles are the worst! I am very hopeful that this testing cycle will work out to be a good treatment plan.  I was really pleased with this RE. He is in a solo practice and meets with you every visit.  I felt relieved to get a game plan to move forward with.

    Welcome! Your RE sounds great. I saw mine in Feb, she set a f/u appointment for May at that time. From then on I only saw the NP. When I had to reschedule the May visit so my husband could attend I could not get back in until August! :/ Good luck!

    Welcome. I hope things go well for you.  You are one of many on here who I have heard mention acupuncture. I am curious as to what it is supposed to do/help with.  Although, curiosity may be where it ends for me....I don't know if there are many acupuncturists in central WI. Lol.

    @hoffmanr7 & @harleyquinn0621 - I started going because a lot of women on TTGP got KU after doing it. My acupuncturist works closely with a local RE and adjusts herbs based off blood work results etc. so he is pretty science-based as well. It's relaxing. I've been doing it since beginning of April but it can take time I guess.
