Anyone else struggling with Infertility?

[Shay1327]

I too have struggled with infertility and am struggling with it now. I have PCOS and don't respond well to Clomid. I conceived Ash after 2.5 years of trying (diet and exercise to limit my insulin resistance), but have been trying for 2 years again with no success. My heart goes out to you! Keep us all updated!

Well guys... its started! I'm officially on my IVF cycle! The Donor started her stim drugs this Saturday.... i'm on my 3+ estrogen patches every other day...
this week is ultrasound and blood work monitoring week... then my embryo/blastocyst transfer date is supposed to be the next week!

I'm really hoping for a day 5 blastocyst transfer... they say the odds are better then a day 3 embryo transfer.... but it all depends on the eggs.. and how they develop..

I'm a flippin nut case...

Good luck!!!

And I was prescribed femara and actually picked up the script the day before I found out I was pregnant with Ash. Right now I want to continue to try to control my PCOS without medical intervention. I almost got divorced over Clomid, it made me a scary person. I figure I was able to beat it once I'm gonna beat it again.

Congrats!!! How did you end up getting pregnant if I may ask? Always looking for inspiration.

Right now with my husband being an OTR truck driver it makes trying really tough, so I'm using this time to improve myself. Losing weight, adjusting my diet, and trying to get my cycles regulated. Hopefully he will be off the road this fall and we can get serious.

I find it almost harder now that I have had a baby. I know its possible and it breaks my heart.
