    No success with anything but IVF/FET here... Are you on metformin? Or seeing a specialists? Is PCOS your only hurtle?
    Let us know if you get some success, good luck!

    Started TTC in 2006, LOTS of trying, and trying, and 7 rounds of IVF with 13 embryos, 2 perfect little boys and 5 loses....
    All finished with babies, started to make diet changes, Keto, to be MORE for my kids, lost 30 pounds, still going, and 3 months in, I had a natural cycle, and then ovulated... Hubs and I are going to see what happens now... Maybe a natural pregnancy? After everything we have been through? Or just a return to normal hormones? We shall see what the future holds!

    Baby Dust To All!!!

    I looked at your IF history in your siggy. Have you had a lap to check for endo? Even without symptoms, it's still a possibility. I have never tried pregnitude but I wonder if following the PCOS diet helped me get my second BFP or if it was dumb luck.

    Yes PCOS is the only hurdle and until my last FET and 2nd m/c we were unexplained. Then I wanted some tests run and we found out I had elevated levels of testosterone and androgen. Other than that, I had virtually no symptoms. Yes I take 1500 mg metformin daily.

    No I have never had a lap done. I actually asked my RE about it and he sort of blew it off. I am looking to go to RMA but live about 6 hours from there so that might be over the summer. Will definitely ask.
    What jumped out to you as endo if you dont mind me asking. I'm curious now!

    I know at least 3 ladies who got pregnant after laps naturally after IVF failed. They all had mild-moderate endo without symptoms. I just don't think you should leave a single stone unturned especially since you have done multiple fresh and frozen cycles and have had losses. I would push for it.

    Wow, really?! I do want to switch RE's so it might be a few months but will definitely ask about this. I have also heard about endo scratch? When I asked him about that, he said he has maybe done 1. I feel he is not up to technology?
