Trouble TTC
TTC with PCOS
My husbandand I have been ttc for a yr and a half with no luck:( we went to see the doctor and I was diagnosed with PCOS about a month ago and I will be starting my first round of clomid next month!! I have had 2 m/c in 2005 & 2007 and was told that it was due to my PCOS. My husband and i are excited to start trying!! I have a friend who concieved daughter with the 1st round and her twin boys with a second round. We are not getting our hopes up for that but I'm wishing to have my miracle baby soon..
goodluck and baby dust to us all 
On June 12th 2010 I get to marry my best friend:)

Re: TTC with PCOS
Sorry about the PCOS dx, but know that it is possible to have a successful pregnancy with PCOS.
Good luck as you move forward with your first medicated cycle. Please make sure that you are closely monitored on the Clomid, especially with PCOS.
Are you seeing your OB or a specialist?
Glad you got the ball rolling and are starting clomid. I just finished up my first round of clomid. It wasnt bad at all. Here is what you should be monitored for with clomid:
CD3: FSH and E2 bloodwork and base ultrasound
CD10-14: E2 and LH bloodwork and ultrasound
( I also use OPK's around this time to watch for my LH surge)
CD24: Progesterone bloodwork
HTH
Yes, you should be monitored more closely regardless of PCOS or not. Your montitoring appt should go something like this:
CD2/3 - b/w to check E2 and u/s to check for cysts
CD8/9 - after 5 days of Clomid you should have an u/s to measure follicle growth. Your lining should also be checked for thickness because Clomid has a tendency to thin out your lining.
Depending on your u/s results, you may need to have another u/s or two.
10 dpo - b/w to check P4 levels
Has your RE talked to you about doing an hcg trigger shot to ensure that you do ovulate? With PCOS, you can get + opk and never actually ovulate.
Each cycle needs to be treated the same way. Please insist that you have CD 3 b/w and u/s done before beginning Clomid or any other fertility med. It is common to have residual cysts after a medicated cycle and even more so in patients with PCOS.
