in Secondary IF
Good morning ladies,
I've been debating on joining the board for quite some time. Today is the day.
My H and I have a beautiful two year old daughter. We struggled for two years to conceive her and I got pregnant between IF appointments. I have PCOS with very irregular cycles. When I got pregnant with Aubrie I was exercising every day, cut a lot of foods out of my diet and was doing everything possible to help our chances. (And, quite honestly, I have no idea if any of those things actually helped.)
We began trying for number two when Aubrie was a few months old. I knew in my heart it was going to be a long and painful road again.
Today marks the end of our 20th cycle. I took a pregnancy test yesterday and got a BFN. This is our fourth round of Clomid and we are waiting in line to see an infertility specialist, with the next step probably being IUI.
I'm sorry you're all experiencing a very real and devastating pain. People tend to think that because you have one, you shouldn't have a problem having another. Trying to explain secondary IF to people is like talking to a wall.
Anyhow, enough rambling. I hope to get to know you all.
Me: 27 DH: 28
Diagnosis: PCOS, irregular cycles, old lady eggs. DH is fine.
Started TTC in January 2010. BFP December 25, 2011 between IF appts.
DD born August 31, 2012
Began TTC again in Jan. 2013.
Four rounds of Clomid - BFN
Fifth round of Clomid September/Oct - cancelled
HSG scheduled for Oct. 30 - Tubes all clear
December: Round one of Femara - BFN
Round two - ?

I've been on Metformin (prescribed by RE) since May and that has really helped level things out and I lost weight too. So hopefully the RE can give you some pointers on managing the PCOS and get you moving in the right direction.
