It has been quite a while since I have last written on here. I wanted to provide another update and a good one. I was able to start my first ivf cycle on july 1st without complications and I am offically pregnant. I had my first beta on 7/27 and it was pretty good at 250, my second beta rose to 461, and I have another beta coming. I am so excited and I am thnakful to god for blessing me. IVF was a breeze. The injections were simple including the one I had to have in my hiney lol. I thank all for your support!!

Starting Clomid next month. Worried and scared and hoping to connect to others who are going through or have gone through the same treatment.

I started on 50mg of clomid and after blood tests on CD 21 there was no indication of ovulation. So my doc bumped me up to 100mg this cycle. I am 26 and of healthy weight, just have always had looong cycles. I am hoping for some better news this time!! Otherwise we'll increase my dose a little more. Gotta stay positive, right? Hope everything is working out for you! Tue, 27 Jul 2010 21:37:27 -0400 http://www.conceiveonline.com/component/option,com_kunena/Itemid,333/catid,2/func,view/id,1226/#1226 Hi ladies! I am new to this community and looking for some support and encouragement! My husband and I have been married for 3 years and TTC for over a year now. Month 2 of clomid underway - fingers (and toes) crossed for a successful cycle! Would love to hear from you and share some of my experiences. Peace and strength to you! -Katie Tue, 27 Jul 2010 21:21:02 -0400 http://www.conceiveonline.com/component/option,com_kunena/Itemid,333/catid,4/func,view/id,1223/#1225 There is always a chance when you have unprotected sex about 5 days before and 1 day after ovulation. You need to wait 2 weeks to see if you get your period first.

I think part of my problem was it might have been scratched. Hope someone has some good info for you!

My first born is almost two and we are trying to conceive our second. Only been trying for a few weeks. Anyone in the same boat? I'm so ready to be pregnant already! Fri, 16 Jul 2010 20:54:51 -0400 http://www.conceiveonline.com/component/option,com_kunena/Itemid,333/catid,31/func,view/id,424/#1218 I defiantly know where you are coming from. I'm on 2 and a half years of trying. There for sure is a thing as too much trying. I'm at the point that I don't know how much more trying I have left in me. You're not alone hun and we CAN get it done. :) Wed, 14 Jul 2010 22:27:29 -0400 http://www.conceiveonline.com/component/option,com_kunena/Itemid,333/catid,2/func,view/id,1214/#1217 Acupuncture has regulated my ovulation, and I know that it helps other fertility issues. My acupuncturist warned me in the beginning that it could take a few months for the treatments to help. So keep going with it!

Just thought to shout it to you all as I need a place to be all excited! I just have to wait 3 cycles before we start seriously... 1 cycle is my post pill withdrawal bleed, another 2 to compare average length of my cycles as i've been on BC since i was 17! I have been to my doctor and she was really excited for me what I loved about that visit was her acknowledging that it is exciting but scary! Which it is! That is exactly how I feel! How are you all doing on this journey? Tue, 13 Jul 2010 06:56:28 -0400 http://www.conceiveonline.com/component/option,com_kunena/Itemid,333/catid,2/func,view/id,1213/#1213 Hey! I just found this site while at the doctor's office looking in a magazine. We have been TTC for a year now and just started seeing a specialist and I'm on my first cycle of fertility drugs, and have had a few tests done. I'm hoping this one round will do it =) Just trying to think positive LOL Mon, 12 Jul 2010 14:44:32 -0400 http://www.conceiveonline.com/component/option,com_kunena/Itemid,333/catid,2/func,view/id,1212/#1212 Hi everyone, I'm new here. My name is Heather and I'm 25. My husband's name is Justin & he's 31. We've been married since October 2003. I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2004. We started actively trying to get pregnant in 2007 after moving here. So far I've been on Clomid 50-150mg with no luck. In May I had surgery to remove some cysts off of my ovaries. Then in June we tried Clomid 150mg again. My eggs weren't maturing like they should. So by the middle of this month we'll be trying Femara to see if that works. Good luck to everyone here! :) Thu, 08 Jul 2010 16:18:14 -0400 http://www.conceiveonline.com/component/option,com_kunena/Itemid,333/catid,20/func,view/id,1211/#1211 I just posted this in the "welcome" thread as well, but I figure that this would be a good spot to post as well. I like to hear people's stories. I like to hear that I'm not the only freak in the world. I'm still a wreck from everything that's happened to me this year... So, I'm new to this site, but not new to trying. I'm Lauren, I'm almost 30, I have PCOS, and I'm trying to get pregnant. I've been married for just over two years and have been off birth control the whole time. 13 months into trying, we finally got pregnant! Because of the PCOS, I held my breath for what seemed like the entire first trimester. At that point, I felt like I was home-free. At 22 weeks, I had some cramps that felt like the cramps you get the day before you wake up and your belly is suddenly two sizes bigger. In the evening, the cramps became bad enough that I couldn't stand up. My husband took me to the emergency room where they had me pee in a cup and decided (just by looking) that it was a bladder infection and I was probably having bladder spasms. Meanwhile, they sent the cup to the lab for proper testing. About 10 minutes later, I thought that I had gone to the bathroom on the table, and it turns out my water broke. Within 90 seconds I delivered my way-too-young son as well as the placenta (it was THAT fast). Needless to say, he didn't live; however, astonishingly, he was alive for a whole hour before he passed (which the doctor later said was unheard of with the amount of infection). At my one-week checkup, the doctor told me that I had bacterial vaginosis that had probably been growing for four months (apparently it was all over the placenta and my uterus). This is something that can be easily taken care of if it's caught quickly enough; however, they really only routinely test for it at the first prenatal visit--because I get this infection asymptomatically, I will have monthly pelvic exams to look forward to next time around. That being said, we've been trying again for four months (this all happened on February 7th of this year). I REALLY hoping it doesn't take another year to get pregnant. It just makes me nervous because of the whole PCOS thing...so my ovulation is already wacky (though I have had regular periods for the last four months, and before we got pregnant, for the year before that). I just want to be pregnant and stay pregnant for the full time I'm supposed to at this point! What sucks even more is that until we move next week, we live in the hubby's parents' house, which is fine. The "not fine" part of that is that we also live with his 20 year old sister and her husband (who is a HUGE loser). Well, they don't want kids, and yet she's pregnant with her third child in two years. They are never home and around the children. My in-laws, my husband, and I are the people who give the kids any sense of normalcy (the youngest is seven months and the oldest will be two in september). She complains all the time about how much she hates being pregnant and how her kids are ruining her social life. At this point, if she is in the house, I stay in the basement. I know it's only for another week (we've been here since May), but still. BAH! Okay, after typing all of that, I feel a bit better.

Let's see...some personal things...the hubby and I are moving next week to Santa Fe, NM. In seven weeks I'll finish my master's degree in criminal justice. I have seven bachelor's degrees that I got within a five year period (thanks to frequent major changes and 20 hours/semester of classes). I play piano, do yoga, watch tv (SVU, Bones, House, Grey's, Private Practice, Glee), watch movies, ride horses, want to start tai chi, love scrapbooking, and am trying to lose weight.

I don't know what to say. Unfortunately, you can only do so much. I am sure that's not what you want to hear. I hope that your DH's treatment's go well. I'm sure you won't need all the vials you have saved. HUG.
