Lurker Converted ***DS mentioned, Previous Losses Mentioned***

Hi all,
I've been lurking on this board for a few weeks now and I have been wanting to join in the conversations so I thought I'd do an intro over here.

My husband and I married 16 years ago and I am 35 years old (yeah do the math and you'll see I was a baby when we got married). We knew we'd want a family right away so we never prevented.  Nothing happened for the first few years so I sought medical help and eventually received the diagnosis of Endometriosis and PCOS.  Since then we have adopted our DS (he's now 8 years old) and had three prior pregnancies - 2 ectopic and 1 natural miscarriage - the most recent of which was this past September.

We are currently in the beginning of a 2ww with a medicated cycle this month.  I am CD12 - 3DPO.  We used Clomid CD3-7 and an u/s on CD7 showed a very large follicle - 27 mm - so we did the hcg trigger shot that night. I am now on 200 mg of progesterone daily until I go for a blood draw for beta-hcg on Nov 18th.  FX!  My chart is in my siggy or you can find it here...clicky

I look forward to chatting with you ladies and getting and giving support here.  Thanks for letting me join you, in advance.

    Welcome!  This board makes the dreaded 2ww a bit easier.  I lurked for a long while before introducing myself as well.

    I wish you  the best of luck on your cycle.  27mm is really, really good!!

    @maelien  thank you!  I am glad to be here.   Yes, my RE was really happy with that size follicle.  This is our second cycle on Clomid and our first was cancelled before it really begun due to some weird lab results.  So we were both surprised to see how my little ovaries responded.
