Intro

Hi, everyone! I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm a fairly regular poster on several boards on BBC, but they don't have an active board specifically for this. I've tried to join The Bump in the past under a few different names, but I could never stick with it. I hope this round is different!

My name is Stacey, and I'm 27 years old and DH is 28. We got married in July 2010, I went off BCPs in October of 2010 and we actively started TTC in December of 2010. It became pretty clear early on that something wasn't right, because I never got any positive OPKs, no matter how many times a day I tested. So I started temping, and it turned out that the majority of my cycles were anovulatory. We started seeing an RE in February of 2012 where we were only able to do an HSG (clear) and SA (normal) before DH deployed. I wasn't diagnosed with PCOS or anything, and my RE pretty much said he had no idea why my cycles were so wonky and I didn't consistently ovulate. DH got back in August 2012 and we started Clomid the next cycle. 100mg and my biggest follicle was only around 13mm at CD18. They told me I probably wouldn't ovulate, and they were right. CD40 rolled around without AF so I got a PIO shot to induce.

We decided to add Gonal-F and do some Clomid combo cycles with TI. I produced some good follies, but all were BFN. We had to skip December of 2012 because of a large cyst. We moved on to IUI in January of 2013, and I finally got my BFP.

My daughter was born on August 30, 2013 at 34w6d gestation. She had to be delivered early because I developed severe pre-eclampsia. She spent 21 days in the NICU.

I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you
