Don't know where I belong...

 

Hello, my name is KaramelSutra  i have PCOS. I had my son nearly two years ago, but after 2 iui's with clomid for 4 cycles. We were on a break for injectables and got pregnant. (must have been one of the 4 times a year I ovulate..)

 

Anywho, we are again persuing an addition to the family. We have completed another cycle of clomid/ovidrel. I'm 12dpo and had a bfn today. Our next step is injectables. I don't feel like I fit in in 3t or IF. Mind if I hang out here even though I'm not technically SIF?

    Why do you think you are not 2IF?  If it is because you also had primary IF, then you should know there are several of us here that have had both primary and secondary IF.  Unfortunately, once you have had IF it doesn't just go away after a healthy baby is born.

    Welcome to the group, and know that there are lots of wonderful and supportive women here.

    Yea, I know it doesn't go away (although I had hoped it would,lol). I didn't realize there were girls here who had primary If also! That's where my confusion lies!

     Happy to have a new "home" thanks :)

    I think we all hope that it would just "go away".  I thought we had it at least figured out after DD, and all we had to do was repeat the meds and it would happen again.  Unfortunately, I was wrong.

    I'm having a way bad day. Feel terrible about myself. Like my body is failing me again. Emotional wreck. I feel like our family is no where near complete, but don't know if and when it ever will be.

    Welcome to the board. I hope your stay here is short.

    I also have PCOS and had primary IF. Like AprilDrew, I thought that since we figured out what worked to get pg with DS, that the second go around would be a piece of cake. Not so much.

    This is a great place for support and understanding.

    Dx: PCOS and short luteal phase
    18 cycles (3 with our RE) - Metformin + Clomid + HCG booster did the trick!
    BFP #1 6/22/09 EDD: 3/2/10 DS born: 3/8/10

    TTC #2 since Dec 2011
    BFP #2 7/8/12 EDD: 3/18/12 M/C @ 9w1d: 8/16/12

    I have PCOS as well and had a beautiful, healthy son after trying forever. We are trying for #2 now and this board has been awesome. Its nice to know you're not alone. And I am in agreement that after having DS I thought maybe the second time around would be easier. Like somehow my body would know how to over come the obstacles we faced before. HAHAHAHA no such luck! But I wish you and your DH luck!

    Welcome to the board! We dealt with primary IF also and like everyone else has said still thought it would happen "easier" this time around. Silly us. Lol. 

    We just finished a round with injectables + IUI. You have definitely found the right board though I hope your stay is short and sweet!
