New Here - Started 1st Ever Fertility Meds Today

Hello!I am new to The Bump and this board. Just wanted to introduce myself and see who else may be on a similar journey.I am 33 and my partner (42) and I have been together since 2004. We are a lesbian couple TTC our first child. I will be the one getting pregnant. I started fertility meds today in preparation for an IUI with anonymous donor sperm. I am taking Provera to get my irregular periods jumpstarted, and then Clomid 50mg for 5 days. My OBGYN suspects PCOS is to blame for the irregular periods.I am nervous and excited as we begin this journey! It seems from all of the stories I have read, everyone's experience is so different, there just really isn't a way to predict how things will go. Just have to trust the process and try not to stress too much.Looking foward to getting to know everyone on this board and hopefully delivering good news in the next few months!
DW & I (yes, we're lesbians!) are using anonymous donor sperm and IUI TTC#1!

    Welcome!  Your story sounds exactly like that of a coworker of mine!  She and her partner now have two beautiful children from their IUIs. 

    I wish you the very best of luck - there are so many great women on this board with lots of experience and knowledge, so ask lots of questions when  you need to!!!!

    Hi and welcome :) We are using DS too because of my DH's MFI. Due to my age we are doing IVF, though. It's so hard picking a donor! Wishing you lots of luck!!!!!!
