    • Interests

      I loved..... LOVED being a housewife. Anything that has to do with keeping a home, I love. I like to read, sew clothes, crochet, cross stitch, knitting and all that jazz. I have been studing photography for years, unoffically of course. I'm always ready to try something new with a camera. I have an unhealthy addiction to recipe collecting and CSI.

    • Close Infertility

      I have been diagnosed with PCOS and have been TTC for four years now, with little luck.

      Treatments

      Artificial Insemination Working / Worked
      I did become pregant everytime, but ususally miscarried soon after pregnancy was confirmed due to hormone problems.
      Basal Thermometer Somewhat Helpful
      It showed my doctors that while the blood work showed I did ovulate, the truth was that I didn't.
      Clomid Working / Worked
      Clomid never failed to provide me with six or more viable eggs.
      hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) Working / Worked
      Use with Clomid to stiulate the eggs to be released. Otherwise I wouldn't ovulate
      HSG (Hysterosalpingography) Somewhat Helpful
      It showed that I had more problems than orginally thought, but can we all say.... OUCH!
      In Vitro Fertilization Working / Worked
      Again...OUCH and the proceedure worked everytime, but as before miscarried soon after preganancy was confirmed.
      Metformin Working / Worked
      I currently take 1000mg a day and have been for years now. It does help with some of the PCOS symptoms
      Progesterone Somewhat Helpful
      I had to take a synthetic progesterone in an attempt to maintain pregnancy, but my body is was too smart to be fooled by a fake. It didn't really help any.
    • Close Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

      I was diagnosed in nov of 2003 with pcos due to insulin resistance. With very few doctors in the area even knowing what pcos is I have been treated poorly for the condition. Also been through the ringer with fertility treatments. Nothing has worked and I just want to get a handle on the pcos "monster" and get it out of my body.

      Treatments
