Trouble TTC

PCOS Newbie (warning: loss mentioned)

Hi everyone, My name is Lili. I am 31 and my husband is 42. We live in Florida and spend time playing tennis, going to the beach, and hanging outside. We began our TTC journey about a year ago and were excited about becoming pregnant within 2 cycles. We told many people as soon as we got the BFP, and sadly had to inform these people of our loss at 8 weeks.

I joined the miscarriage board the day we received our news. About a month later, I started reading the TTCAL board. I even lurked frequently on PGaL, confident I would be on there within 4-6 weeks. Wrong. Only one AF without Provera and maybe one ovulation in the nearly one year since.

Just finished initial testing (SA, HSG, bloodwork) and received a confirmed diagnosis of PCOS. Working with the RE and beginning first cycle with Clomid and trigger once I get AF, so hopefully within the next week. Looking forward to sharing the journey with everyone.

  • I'm sorry for your loss.

    We, too, are starting our first medicated cycle (AF comes today or tomorrow). It's an exciting place to be, finally taking concrete steps after a lot of waiting and wondering. Good luck, I hope you have a great response to the Clomid!
