in Trouble TTC
I've been lurking for what feels like forever now.
DH (34) and I (32) started TTC back in January of 2011. At the urging of my OBGYN, we started infertility testing in April of 2013 and were referred to an RE where I was diagnosed with PCOS as well as potential endometriosis and adenomyosis. I'm now on 1700mg Metformin/day, and we've been through 10 medicated cycles (Clomid followed by letrozole) and 4 IUIs. My current RE says the next step in treatment is likely surgery to assess and treat the endo and adenomyosis, but I'm in the process of changing docs since we're moving out of state soon. We'll see what the new RE has to say.
Anyhow, hello to everyone!
TTC since Jan '11
Me (32): DX PCOS, endo; DH (34): Perfectly healthy
IUI#1-IUI#4: BFN; moving to IVF as of August '14
IVF cycle planning appt: 8/19
