Hi!
Just wanted to introduce myself and share a bit about where I am in my journey!
have an almost 4 year old DD and a super supportive DH. I have no problems conceiving DD so we assumed we would have no problem adding another child to our family. Well long story short 3 years later we are still waiting. We decided to hold off seeing anyone about my fertility problems until after I was finished college as I didn't want to add anymore stress.
I have been diagnosed with PCOS and have a few small cysts. I recently started taking metformin and provera to helpfully kickstart my cycles and ovulation without having to take clomid or a similar drug. I am waiting on an HSG test to make sure there are no blockages, as I can go anywhere from 30 to 130 days between periods! (So unbelievably annoying!!!!)
Anyway that's sort of where I'm at in the process, looking forward to asking all you ladies a million questions.

However, this group has been helping me keep my sanity! Lots of wonderful supportive ladies on here
Hopefully you can get your cycles to get on a regular schedule. I will admit the metformin has helped a lot with that for me.
Heads up on that HSG... Make sure you take some good painkillers beforehand. It's a doozy!
