@MrsDho11 OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!! I'm so happy for you! I cannot even express how happy. H&H 9M my dear! Hope some of us can join you over there in the November board!
@kfair001 please be really careful about using "deserved" on here with BFPs, esp in the context, "one of the most well deserved". Love, praise, admiration, sadness for losing an awesome member of the community--those are deserved and @MrsDho11 has more than earned those. BFPs don't work with the same wording. I think I know what you meant, but your wording was just a little too vague. I know you don't mean anything by it to anyone else, but I don't want anyone heading over to WTO going down the rabbit hole of thinking it's because they didn't really deserve a BFP as much as someone else and maybe if only they were as awesome as X. That's not the basis of the BFP process. (@mrsdho11 you're amazing and I'm still so so excited for you!)

CD/DPO: CD 26/ probably around 5 or 6 dpo -I haven't temped these last few months because of all our tests etc and my husbands really low SA
Timing: Bad timing this month, my husband had a SA right around ovulation
Testing: I probably won't this month unless I miss AF
R/R/CS: We just got home from an appointment with the RE and she is very excited that my DH second SA was back into normal range on all fronts which is SUPER exciting seeing the first one was really bleak!! I was grinning all morning. However I am now officially diagnosed with PCOS so I will likely start Clomid next cycle and see if we can do it on our own without IUI.
GTKY: What is one food combination you love but get strange looks for? I like mayo on french fries, it's not THAT weird but some people look at my funny when I ask for a side of mayo.
You know that PCOS is reversible? Please consider changing your diet and doing research on what actually causes PCOS before you jump on the Clomid train.

As a former TTGPer and a PCOSer, I feel compelled to say something. Everyone's PCOS is different and has varying degrees of severity. Please trust your gut and your RE when it comes to a treatment plan. While I was already planning to drop 15 lbs when I had my RE consult, weight loss was not a requirement for my treatment. I'm not skinny girl, but am an average size 8, so RE said some weight loss may help me, but that she could start treatment immediately. My coworker went to see the same RE and she had more weight to lose. After my coworker lost 25 lbs, the RE was ready to begin treatment. Please don't make others feel guilty for seeking help with medically diagnosed issues.
******TW BFP mentioned****** @sarahmsoda - one thing I will say is that I'veread that Femara tends to be more helpful for those with PCOS and my RE agreed. I got KU on my first cycle on Femara and am almost 6 weeks along now. May be worth asking her to talk through the pros/cons of Clomid/Femara to confirm. Good luck!

@virginiaham - Apologies for my wording. I've removed it. Definitely did not mean to make anyone feel undeserving so I apologize profusely to anyone that I may have offended. Thanks for bringing this up with me. Sorry again.
@MrsDho11 omg!!!!! Congratulations. I didn't bump yesterday, so I'm late on the news, but that is fantastic! So happy for you. We will miss you so much on this board, but of course super happy for the reason of your departure H&H 9 months!
