Guess I'll Intro (Update w/ Beta)
Quite a few of you may have followed my journey on GP, but here's a bit of it in short.
I got off BC in October 2012.
In January we decided to start being less cautious with preventing, because my cycles were very long and I wasn't ovulating.
In April we decided to full on begin TTC, because the Dr told us that our chances were very slim due to my cycles.
That's when I started testing, and was diagnosed with PCOS. I also started the PCOS diet at that time, because H wasn't too keen on medication.
In July we decided that we would do 1 round of Clomid to see if it would make my body work.
Then I had a 3 month long cycle, and couldn't begin Clomid.
So we were finally able to start Clomid last month. We were fortunate enough that the first round made my body ovulate, and now here I am.
The EDD is 6/7/13. I go in this morning for the first round of Beta's, and will go from there.
Update: They called back with the Beta number, and it is at 84. They want me to go back in on Wednesday to get another draw, and she said if the number doubles or increases by at least 60%, then the Dr isn't concerned. Once it gets to 6,000 (he prefers 10,000), then he wants to do an ultrasound.

@teacherlady79 I still haven't heard back yet. I had them done at the local hospital, then they were going to send the results to my Dr. So hopefully I will hear back still today.
