    • About Me

      I am a registered nurse. I have been married for 5 years and been trying to fall pregnant just as long. I like to think I am pretty strong but have been finding it tough as time goes on with no result. I love my pets and spending time with family and friends.

    • Close Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

      I found out I had PCOS when I was 14 years old and was told by my GP that I had a "one in a million chance" of ever falling pregnant. I met my now husband when I was 19 and married him when I was 22. We are both desperate to have children and have been trying to fall since we got engaged 6 years ago. I have tried so many things and have finally decided to start IVF this year to realise our dream of having a child of our own.

      Treatments

      Clomid Not Working
      Tried every dosage and had all the bad side effects... hot flushes, mood swings, sweats etc. with no result... not even one ovulation.
      Laparoscopic Surgery Not Working
      I had this done 1 year ago (ovarian ablasion) and although the procedure itself went smoothly and my gyne was fantastic it had no result.
      Metformin Somewhat Helpful
      I found this made it a little easier to lose weight but I suffered from really low blood sugar levels on it and eventually had to stop as it was making me very lethargic and gave me dizzy spells.
      Oral Contraceptives Working / Worked
      I was on Diane 35 ED before we began trying and found it fantastic... hair growth was completely stopped on my chin and face, acne disappeared and I found it very easy to control my weight and maintain a healthy size. It was also wonderful to have a regular period as before I started it, I only got my period once a year on average.
    • Close Infertility
