New and Looking forward to connecting

Hi all,

I've been TTC for 5 months now and I have pcos. Started taking metformin at first then took provera to regulate my periods, then femara to increase follicle growth. This cycle I've combined Bravelle and femara and just had an ultrasound today where one follicle has grown to 19mm! So I'm doing an hcg trigger shot tomorrow then we are doing planned intercourse on Tuesday. We can't afford the iui at this point and we wanted to try once on our own. Anyone have experience with any of those meds and success? I've been searching around on all these forums and I'm excited to be part of a great community of women who support each other in the process of TTC. I am looking forward to connecting with everyone.

    Welcome to the group, I hope it works for you! If TI doesn't, then IUI may. I just had my first IUI on 8/31 and it worked. Now I'm just praying it sticks and I end up with a healthy baby in a little less than 9 months! I hope your stay here is short.

    I'm new to the Bump forums and TTC with PCOS as well! We tried naturally for the past year. Blood tests confirmed I was not ovulating so I just finished my first round of Clomid. No real side effects (yet).

    Welcome to the forums as well @fbmandy55! Glad to hear I'm not the only one who is TTC with pcos:) are you going in to have an ultrasound soon to check for ovulation? Wishing you good luck with clomid. Some people have bad side effects on it but I think it just depends on the person so if you're clear so far you'll probably be fine! I just had my trigger shot this morning and I've got bad cramping so trying to hang in there as I know it's for the best!
