Cautious Intro

edited October 2013 in Pregnant after IF
I'm just coming over from the 3T and IF boards. To make a long story short hubby and I started seeing a RE for my PCOS, but found we didn't like him so we switched after a few months. We started seeing a second RE who found that my husbands SA was very low and recommended IVF. At that point we stopped treatment and started saving for IVF. 

Flash forward to this past June when we finally had enough saved for IVF and went back. DR. Wanted to re-do some tests since it had been a year. He found my husbands SA to be remarkably improved and recommended Clomid with Ovidrel instead of IVF. We started in August after resolving my throid issues, but didn't conceive despite high ovulation numbers. 

This past Monday I took a test and it popped up pregnant right away after our second round! I can still barely believe it. I took the ovidrel shot on Sept. 24th so I figure I"m due around June 17th ish. Had my first Beta Tuesday and it was 199. I have no idea if that is good or not. I go for my second beta today. I'm so thrilled to be here! It's been a long 2 years!!!

DX PCOS June 2011, SA: low volume and concentration, 2% morph
June 2011 Clomid 50 mg + metformin 500 mg = BFN
August 2011 Clomid 100mg + metformin 500 mg = BFN
October 2011 Clomid 100mg + metformin 500 mg = no response
January 2012- Clomid 150mg + metforming 750 mg ER + trigger + IUI #1 = Cancelled due to poor response. 
February 2012 - cancelled due to finaances
April 2012 - Jumped ship to a new RE 
May 2012 - New round of testing
June 2012 - starting supplements, saving for IVF
June 2013 - ready to start IVF, one more SA - all clear! Dr. Suggest starting with 50mg Clomid and Ovidrel instead. Have to resolve thryoid issues first. 
August 2013 - 50 mg. Clomid + Ovidrel = BFN
September 2013 - 50 mg Clomid + Ovidrel = BFP on Oct. 7th!
10.8.13 = 1st Beta 199
10.10.13 = 2nd Beta 502
10.14.13 = 3rd Beta 3,998
11.4.13 = 1 little bean measuring right on track with a heartbeat of 174!
12.2.13 = Genetic testing normal, It's a BOY!
6.10.14 Our sweet baby boy is born at 1:43 pm - 8lbs, 8oz, 21" long
