Hi ladies! I wanted to quickly introduce myself. I’m 36, have PCOS, and have been seeing a fertility doctor for a little over a year. We did our first IUI in May, which resulted in our first BFP. Sadly, that turned into a CP. Even though it was a very early loss, I took it really, really hard. I bled for 5 long weeks and it also took that long for my hCG to return to normal. Even after the initial bleeding, my hCG continued to go up so I thought the pregnancy might be viable but it wasn’t. I then feared it might be ectopic and was even prepped for Methotrexate but my numbers finally started going down and that was thankfully ruled out.
I have been counting the days until my hCG would return to
normal so we could TTC again. That day
is finally here! So here I am. I’m sorry that we are all here but I hope
that I can add some support or advice to the group. I might not have much to add since my loss
was so early but I am really good at sending virtual hugs. ![]()
Re: Quick Intro
I'm glad you are cleared to TTC, and I wish you the best of luck and a short stay on this board!
Thanks so much for the warm welcome! It makes me feel so good.
Hopefully your stay here is short, but until then, you will see that this is a great group of compassionate, supportive women. You are not alone.

@brooklyngirl18 Thank you so much! I'm sorry you're here as well.
@beary67 I'm really sorry for your loss. It's always nice to have a fellow PCOS'er to bounce things off of. Thanks for the kind words!
