We have been TTC for 18 months .... Baby Dust to all TTC.

UPDATES:

7/15/08:This month: 3rd Round of Femara (like Clomid) day 3-7 of my cycle. Fourth month on Metformin

7/14/08: Update: altho I am supposed to be on a TTC break.... I have been having pains on my left side for the last 5 weeks or so- I have a small tube on my left side. So I decided to go into the doctor today- I was afraid it was a cyst. U/S reviels that I ovulated last month-pretty good (possibly two eggs from one side) because it caused painful bleeding around my ovary. However I already spot AF so I'm out for this month... The Dr gave me pain meds and more fertility drugs.... Not exactly what I was hoping for since I kinda wanted a break!!!!!!!!!!

4/7/08: 2 BFPs this past week and the Doctor's Blood Test showed nothing by the end of the week: chemical pg

HISTORY:

We have had DH swimmers tested: all looks good and blood work showed his testosterone level at 285 which is low in the normal range but still normal.

March 2008: I had a Hysterosalpingography (Dye Test). The Dye Test showed that my left tube is much smaller than my right but both tubes are open. I started taken Metformin which will lower my glucose levels but is suppose to help me ovulate with better quality.

I was diagnosed with PCOS right after we got married in 2005. I really wasn't sure what it was untill I started TTC. Latest U/S July 2008 still shows cysts on both ovaries even with medication. At least the Dr. says I am ovulating.

Dr. says to keep taking the Progesterone if I don't start AF at a week or so late & I still have a BFN. I only take it as needed. I used to be on the nuva ring and it really messed up AF. I went a long time without a PD. and I am now real irregular if I don't take the med. I am sure that it is a low dose and I only have to take it a few days. This also avoids letting my lining get too thick. My lining was so thick at one point and my dr. was scared that the cells could become cancerous. That is another reason that he wants me to take it if I am running into 6 week + cycles which has become regular about every 6 months. I go to the OBGYN about every 2-4 months for check ups. I love my Dr. he is supportive and very positive that we are on the right track.

SUMMARY:

I do use OPKs and I am on Metformin (twice a day) and Femara day 3-7 of my cycle. I also take Progesterone (as needed to keep my cycles regular.)
