Newbie Here

Hi Everyone!

I have been a long time lurker and decided to finally stop being a wall flower. This is my first post- ever- so be gentle :) I know that you only get what you give here and am looking forward to giving and receiving support. A little about me and the Mr...

I am in my late twenties and the Mr is in his mid thirties. We've been together almost 6 years and married for just over 4. We have one furbaby, B, who is a spoiled rotten dog. We are big winos, love to travel and are really up for anything.  

We have been trying since April 2012 and I was diagnosed with annovulatory PCOS August 2012. We've both run the gamut of testing with normal results. We've tried 4 rounds of clomid with not much of a response and just finished my 2nd round of Femara/Follistim/Pregnyl + IUI. First cycle was a chemical pregnancy with mild OHSS (3 mature follies) and this last one was a total bust that resulted in 2 large cysts on the left ovary. I really like my RE and am hopeful after sitting out this next month we can move forward full steam ahead.

I'm looking forward to getting to know you ladies better and thanks for reading!

  • Welcome to the board! DH and I have also been married a little over four years. Our anniversary is May 30, when is yours? It sounds like you have been through a lot. I hope you get your take home baby very soon!
