Trouble TTC

Newbie Intro to the Board

I have been a lurker for a little while, but I'm failing on Clomid Cycles, I feel that I need to introduce myself and will certainly need your support! And I will certainly be here to support you! I'm in a rather strange predicament, I am the Practice Manager for an OB/GYN Practice, so I deal with pregnant women every day, and I?m usually able to separate that from myself.  Its other girls at work, or friends from college getting pregnant or having babies that puts me over the edge, because "it hits too close to home".  I look forward to speaking with you all and taking this journey together. (I'm also not sure how the siggy thing works- I have the info, just don't like the format, any advice?) Thank you! :)

 

Me: 29 DH: 31.
October 2011- Hysteroscopy with D&C, passed fibroid tumor

Dx. PCOS, Unexplained Infertility

Spend October 2011-May 2012 taking hormones, attempting to control irregular menses, all failed.

June 2012-November 2012- Un-medicated, continued irregular menses

Told that if I were older they would recommend a hysterectomy, however I want children, badly!

So we finally started our infertility medications in January 2013.

Dec 12: First month of Clomid, meds were switched at Pharmacy, lost first round of Clomid

Jan 13: Clomid 50mg- didn?t ovulate

Feb 13: Clomid 50mg- Ovulated but never read on tests

Mar 13: Clomid 100 mg + Trigger HCG Shot, monitored cycle, 2 follies, Negative cycle

April 13: Clomid 100 mg + Trigger HCG Shot, monitored cycle, 3 follies, Negative Cycle

May 13: SA: good on 05.10.13, HSG: Clear on 05.14.13 un-medicated for testing month

Waiting to go back for test reviews and make a new game plan: more Clomid, IUI, or IVF?

    Welcome!  It's no fun to be in the TTTC situation, but the group is great.  I'm still relatively new to a lot of this myself, but as I'm sure you've seen, people here always have great advice.

    Not sure on the sig thing...it looks like some of the coding, particularly with the font, is showing up.  Did you select an odd font option or try to upload something custom?
