Hi Ladies! I haven't been on the bump for quite a while (since TTC DD #1), so I thought I'd introduce myself again in hopes to join you on the board. My name is Ashley, and my husband, Rick, and I have a daughter, Alexis, who will be a year old next month.
I have PCOS (annovulatory) and DH has MFI (low count, poor morph). We conceived DD with Follistim & IUI in 3/2010, and now we are trying for #2. This time we have no IF coverage as our insurance company dropped it in May, so we are 100% OOP and trying on our own for the time being while we save up money for our next round with the RE. I started Metformin in July and got my first cycle since having DD. I hadn't been charting yet as I was holding on to an "ignorance is bliss" attitude. I didn't really want to know whether I was really ovulating or not for fear of what the real answer would be. I know that sounds incredibly stupid! I just started charting again in November after having what I believe was a c/p.
I'm looking forward to meeting all of you and I wish you all the best of luck on your journey!
