Introduction (Maybe a little TMI?)

Hello ladies!

I've been lurking around for awhile and learning quite a bit from all of you so I thought it was time to me to officially introduce myself!

A little bit about me and mine: I am 28 and my DH is 27. We were married in June 2013 but have been together for over 8 years . I was diagnosed with PCOS 3 years ago. I finished my last pack of BCP in August after being on the pill since I was 17. I started Metformin in October to help regulate my periods since, without BCP, my periods are either irregular or practically non-existent. I'm trying to track my temp but it is currently a work in progress. After a severe illness a few years ago, DH now has retrograde ejaculation. So clearly, we have our work cut out for us!

We decided to officially start trying earlier this month. We know we will more than likely have a long road ahead of us but at this point we are still pretty positive about the whole experience!

Thanks for reading!



Me: PCOS and Hypothyroidism.
Currently on Metformin and Synthroid
BFP: 10.7.14
EDD: 6.15.15

  • Welcome and good luck! I found that it took a bit to get used to temping!
  • Welcome! I'm with the PPs; love the sn!

    Temping can definitely take a bit, and it can be especially rocky with PCOS.

    Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly is retrograde ejaculation?

  • Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly is retrograde ejaculation?
    Sorry I didn't explain it earlier! I wasn't sure how well-known of a condition it is. Basically, instead of the semen being ejaculated out of the penis, it is redirected to the bladder. There are a couple different causes. In my DH's case, it is because of nerve damage he sustained as a result of complications with his type 1 diabetes. In order for him to ejaculate properly, he has to take Sudafed.
