Hi everyone; I have been around reading the boards on and off for the past year ... my husband and i are both in our late 20s and have been ttc for about 2 years. I was diagnosed with PCOS and everything looks ok on his end. Our history: 3 rounds of clomid w/ no response, 1 unsuccessful IUI attempt, and 1st IVF was also not successful. We switched clinics and are now in the middle of our 2nd IVF cycle (retrieval yesterday, 5 day transfer set for tuesday). We haven't shared with the vast majority of our family and friends so hopefully this will be a good place to talk to people who are going through a lot of the same stuff. I guess that's it - intros are awkward - happy friday!
