New here. *Child mentioned*

Hi! I just wanted to introduce myself. Hopefully I'm in the right place. I had some infertility issues when we tried to conceive our first child. Tried to conceive on our own for about 6 months, but irregular cycles/temps led me to believe I was not ovulating. I went to see my OB/GYN and was diagnosed with PCOS. My OB/GYN wanted to start me on Clomid, but I felt more comfortable under the care of an RE.

Once I got in with the RE, he tried Clomid and Tamoxifen, both of which had no effect whatsoever. I was completely anovulatory even with the meds. Then we switched to injectables (Menopur), and finally conceived our son who is now two.

We are trying to have another child and so we tried for a little while and are now back with the RE. I am on my second cycle under their care. We are trying Femara for now. Hope this is the right place. Just hoping to find support as we travel this road.

    Femara is great. I had no mood swings and my lining didn't thin, like on Clomid, plus I had better results than the Clomid. Good luck. Prayers you are successful.
