QOTW: I would say sensible, since I feel that I'm an imaginative person. That was a good question.
I'm new to the weekly check-in (insert waving smiley face here that seems to have been taken away from us today)!
1. How long have you been TTC? On month 6, cycle 3
2. What is your diagnosis? PCOS
3. What is your current treatment plan? Going in for blood work tomorrow morning to see if my liver checks out and then starting Metformin if all looks good. According to FF I'm 10 DPO (CD 92) and I'm keeping my FX that it's the real deal so that I don't have to utilize the Provera. We didn't have sex during my FW, so AF needs to come one way or another. Nutritionist appt on 11/17. Referral submitted for DH to complete a SA.
QOTW: Sensible. I'm married to an engineer if that's saying anything.
I am more attracted to sensible men (my husband is very sensible), but funny ones!
Beta 5/9/2016 BFP!!
Embryo transfer scheduled for April 28, 2016 and beta test May 9, 2016 (day after Mother's Day!)

3/22/16 - Sono Saline ultrasound cyst to be aspirated on 4/1/16 if not cleared up by 3/29 US - It cleared on its own
Retrieval 3/4/16 - 26 eggs retrieved, 23 mature, 20 fertilized, 14 embryos currently frozen
Starting IVF Stims on +/- Feb 22, 2016
HSG scheduled for 1-26-16 - All clear "beautiful uterus" (though inverted)
Switched clinics and now prepping for IVF in February / March
Trying to conceive since November 2012
I am waiting on AF for our first month of clomid. Doctor said after hsg to try until Nov 30 naturally. On 30th take a test if AF had not arrived by theN (CD45) then we will go from there but start clomid next month.
In a relationship...definitely more sensible. My husband keeps me grounded. In a friendship, all the imagination I can get.

I feel like I'm attracted to both but my husband is the sensible type
No Folic acid/pharmaceuticals/supplements (too many to list- private message me if interested), IVIL infusion
As far as surgery they are still working on scheduling it. I was really hoping that I could have it done before the end of the year but unfortunately, it's a busy time for surgery with everyone wanting to do things before their deductibles reset so I won't be surprised if I get pushed into January. Because we can't predict my periods he will either induce me to have one or give me birth control when my next cycle starts to keep me regular until the surgery and they'll tell me which he decided once they have the surgery scheduled. I'm supposed to call back if I don't hear anything by Monday. After the surgery they'll want me to wait a cycle to have an ultrasound to make sure they got the entire septum and then we will be free to try again.
I am still feeling anxious to just know when the surgery is going to be, but I am feeling a better than I was before the appointment. I think I am in good hands.
Thanks everyone for your support while I've been waiting!

Round 2 of Femara- BFP!!! First beta at 10dpo- 28 Second beta at 12 dpo- ?
Went in for lap surgery yesterday and found out I had stage 2 Endo and my right tube is now completely clogged. Chances of natural pregnancy or successful IUI is slim to none. I will be starting the process of IVF probably within the next month or two. It's not going to be cheap, so just need to financially prepare. Just trying to mentally take all this in, but at least I have some answers.
Question of the Week: Are you more attracted to a) imaginative people or b) sensible people?
Probably B, but sometimes envious of A.
TTC- since we got married (off and on)
TTC with focus: Since July 2015
December 2015: Starting 1st IVF cycle
January 2016: Retrieval
March 2016: Pending Transfer (I have 3 PGS tested embryos waiting for a womb)
April 2016: BFP, the old fashioned way.
I can't remember who, but Someone posted once before about clinical trials that can help cover the costs of IVF or some places have government grants - maybe you could find something to help cover your costs?
BFP1 12/24/14 - EDD 09/07/15 (D/C 8w1d)
BFP2 6/12/15 - EDD 2/22/16 (D/C 10w3d)
