Hi all! ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿผ

I wanted to start a thread in hopes of getting some buddies during this "fun" process. My plan this month is to BD every other day. No opks. I am currently seeing a fertility specialist. This will be month 2 of treatments.

A little back story:

-I have PCOS - didn't have cycles, and tried from marriage 2010 to finally seeking help in 2012.

-2012 met with my FS and it took 2 rounds Clomid and Ovidrel to conceive my daughter. Born in May 2013 ๐Ÿ’•

-Never used protection after, still unable to naturally conceive in 2014

-2015, back to FS. MC at 8 weeks in October 2015 ๐Ÿ‘ผ๐Ÿผ

-Nov to Dec did Clomid and ovidrel - BFN

-January and February 2016 <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a>

-The February <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a>

failed and the nurse told me to go ahead and start my provera to start my period. At this point, I was emotionally spent and decided to take some time off. I decided not to take it from there because I figured why induced my AF if not going to try again. After that, I felt as if my body wanted to ovulate on its own. (Still no AF). I took an OPK and paid attention to my body and we tried on our. I got BfP CD51. My son was born in Nov 2016 ๐Ÿ’™

-Over the summer, I've been counting my macros and focusing on health and fitness. I realized that I sort of balanced out my cycles. I went back to my FS and he did a baseline ultrasound and it appeared as though I was getting ready to ovulate on my own but with a 37 mm follicle. I had a chemical from that in August. So I decided to go back for treatments.

-this past month I had 100 mg of Clomid, and when I didn't respond to it initially he added Femara the following week. I had great follicles at the scan, and we did Ovidrel to trigger.

- I tell you this because I am now 14 DPO and BFN I literally obsessed over every symptom and googled everything this cycle. I am promising myself I will not do this this next time.

I'm starting this thread in hopes to find great support and comfort during the next and upcoming two week waits! I'm not allowing myself to test before 11dpo. (I had to give a little ๐Ÿ˜‚)

Anyone want to join?! I know that was long, but I would love to hear your stories as well!

Too often, I'm sure we all feel very alone in this process. ๐Ÿ™‚It's emotional and stressful, but both times I conceived was when I literally told myself enough, is enough and I can't think about every twinge and ache.

Lets do this! Positive vibes coming your way!
