Trouble TTC

Newbie -- Introduction

Hi everyone! I've been a long time occasional lurker, but I've begun lurking more lately, so I figured I would introduce myself.  :) 

DH and I have been TTC for around 2 1/2 years now. I've been diagnosed with PCOS and struggle with the insulin resistance and other terrible bits that come along with it. 

We've been working with a RE for about a year now. He seems confident that I'm "an easy case" but I'm starting to get frustrated. I've been through what seems like 1,000 tests and don't feel any closer to a solution. 

AF is extremely irregular (always has been) at 8-10 months between. I rarely, if ever, ovulate on my own.

 I'm on 2000mg of Metformin/day but nothing else so far (besides prenatals).

How do you ladies stay positive/keep from getting so discouraged?

  • Welcome to the board! I also have PCOS and have all of the lovely things that come along with it.  I completely get your frustration and feeling down.  This board is helpful and I also started reading the Amature Nester ( a blog) and it's been helpful to hear other people's stories.  Hopefully you find this board as helpful as I have!
