hi ladies! I've been looking for a support group through these trying times and I feel like no one will understand me like you guys.
I'm 32 y/o and my husband is 33. I'm a doctor (which makes it all the more frustrating) and my husband is a businessman
My husband and I have been together for 10 years, married for 6 and trying to conceive for 2 years. I have just been going to the my OBGYN who also happens to be an RE for 4 months. I was diagnosed with PCOS and currently on Metformin. This is my 2nd medicated cycle. I have been so tired of hoping every month and being disappointed all the time. I'm also quite tired of people stressing me why I'm not KU yet and just "to make it fast" like it's so easy to do.
Thank you for reading my post and i do hope to get to know you all and to also provide support and encouragement when needed.

Officially diagnosed with unexplained infertility after 4 years of TTC
IUI#2 gave us DS#1 who became an angel a few minutes after birth from Noonan syndrome
IUI#4 gave us DS#2 - going strong as a toddler!
TTC again... Found a clinical trial for unexplained infertility and finished 16 weeks of "lifestyle intervention"
Cycle #1 - cancelled for ovarian cyst x3...
TTC since Jan 2013 Me=25 DH=26
Me: PCOS; I do not ovulate on my own...like ever. All other tests came back good.
Hubby: SA came back in the normal range.
Medicated Cycle #1: Letrozole 5mgs days 3-7, trigger when eggs are ready: total bust...u/s 12/23-lots of little follies. u/s 12/26 follies grew 1mm 1 in each ovary. u/s 12/28 no growth. OPKs for hopeful ovulation, if not progesterone on CD35 to induce next cycle w/5mg letrozole CD 3-7, add follistim CD 8. UPDATE: Positive OPK 1/1 and 1/2, very unexpected and unlikely that I'd ovulate this cycle!
