Late Introduction

Hi Everyone!

I've posted here a few times but have been lurking for a while, I realized I didn't introduce myself.  I am 26 years old and my husband is 29, we have been married almost 2 years and TTC for a little over a year.  I always had a feeling that I would have a hard time getting pregnant as I have rarely had a regular period.  After TTC for almost 9 months I finally caved and made an appointment with my OBGYN, after some blood work she concluded that I wasn't ovulating and put me on 50 mg Clomid with OPK and blood tests. We did that for 2 months, I had an HSG that came back totally clear and normal and my husband's SA came back perfect.  After 2 more months of Clomid still no BFP.  I thought month 4 was a good month, I just had a good feeling and had lots of symptoms consistent with pregnancy that I had never had before, but always a BFN on HPTs.

Finally, I consulted with a RE who concluded that I have PCOS, which was not shocking as a few doctor's suspected it when I was younger (irregular, heavy periods with terrible cramping, acne very young, etc).  I recently completed my first cycle of Femara and Ovidrel with a 22mm follicle.  I am currently in the 2ww but I'm not feeling very confident as I've had strange, menstrual like cramps.

My husband is very supportive and positive but I feel like he doesn't get a woman's perspective on this, I am hoping that you ladies can help since everyone seems so supportive.  Sorry for the long intro and thanks for everyone's help!

    I am still new myself with IF, I was recently diagnosed with PCOS,. I can totally relate to the DH not understanding it. My hubby is completely supportive and positive, but sometimes he just doesn't get it. It is a frustrating process. Wishing you a short stay here! And best of luck :)

    Welcome!  Hoping for a quick BFP for you!
    TTC#1 since Aug 2013, I'm 37, DH 41.  
    Maya Arvigo Abdominal massage (daily self care), plus TTC meditations.
    I'm very sensitive to diet (gluten, avoid processed foods) and environment. Have a history of inflammation and tendinitis before going off gluten in 2009.  
    July 2014 - RE Visit #1: Eggs look good, Endometrioma on R ovary, HSG showed blocked R tube close to ovary. DH SA normal 
    DX: Endometriosis probably the IF cause and gunking up tubes.  Since egg reserve is high, RE says I can wait a couple months and then get laproscopic surgery to remove endo & clear tube.  If that doesn't help then move to IVF. 
    Dec 2014 - Saw new RE - does not recommend surgery on tube as it isn't likely to help.  Doubts I have endometriosis.  My endometrioma shrunk to neglible size (yay!) 
    Seriously considering IVF in March/April
    12/17/14 - Natural BFP!

    Welcome! Glad you are working with an RE, I'm sure they'll take great care of you. The ladies here could tell you, don't worry about the 2WW symptoms you've experienced - pregnancy and PMS symptoms completely overlap so hopefully those cramps are a good thing. :)
