About Me
My husband and I have been married for 2.5 years (together for 7 total) and have now been ttc for 2 years. I'm 25 and have PCOS. I did quite a few rounds of clomid with no success, so after 6 months of trying I began seeing an IF specialist. She kept trying Clomid, but it never worked. She changed me to Femara, and bang, I was pregnant the first cycle. I ended up miscarrying (due to problems with the chromosomes of the baby) and had a D&C in July of 08. Since then, I've been back on Femara, I've taken a couple of months off, and tried again with no success. I'm just coming off 6 weeks of BC; the dr. hopes it will stimulate my ovaries so that the femara will work again.

Close Infertility
Type: Ovarian IssuesMy husband and I have been TTC for 2 years now with medical help. I have PCOS. I got pregnant in April of 08, but miscarried & had a D&C in July. It has been a year now since I was first pregnant, and we want a baby so badly, but are having an extrememly hard time.
Treatments
- Clomid Not Working
- Clomid did not work for me. I did quite a few rounds of this drug, but never got pregnant.
- Femara Working / Worked
- When my dr. first put me on Femara after Clomid, I got pregnant the first cycle. I ended up miscarrying due to chromosomal problems with the fetus. About 2 months later I went back on the Femara, but it has not helped. It has been a year since I was first pregnant. I am just coming off 6 weeks of BC to try to stimulate my ovaries before trying Femara again.
- hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) Considering
- I did get this from my dr. for the last cycle, but since none of my follicles got big enough, I never got to use it.
- Metformin Not Working
- Unfortunately, this did not work for me as it made me extremely sick.
- Ovulation Predictor Kit Working / Worked
- I bought Ovulation strips to test the LH level from early-pregnancy-tests.com. These worked pretty well for me to help try and figure out when I was going to ovulate, since it never seems to be the same for me.
Close Miscarriage
After a year of TTC, and many rounds of Clomid, my RE tried me on Femara/Letrazol. I got pregnant on the first cycle! My husband and I were so excited. At 10 weeks, I went in for my appt. to hear the heartbeat, but it was not there. They said the baby stopped growing and that there was a chromosome abnormality. It has been a year now since I got pregnant and am still waiting.....
Treatments
- D&C Working / Worked
- Had D&C in July 08.
- Grief Counseling Working / Worked
- Was helpful in dealing with not only my miscarriage, but also the loss of my dad a year or so before.
Open Bereavement
Type: Loss of a ParentMy dad passed away in November 2006 at the age of 53. He was diagnosed with small cell Prostate cancer in 2000. Three weeks before he died, I got married. We moved our wedding up by an entire year to make sure that he would be there for it. I miss him so much and even though it has been over two years, I feel as sad as I ever did.
Treatments
- Crying Working / Worked
- I cry a lot. Not as much as I did the first year, and I don't have as many major breakdowns, but I still cry quite a bit.
- Grief Counseling Working / Worked
- I did not do this until 2 years after my dad's death. I wish I had done it sooner. I was severely depressed after his death. I think I would have been better off had i done this earlier.
- Prayer Working / Worked
- I have struggled with angry feelings toward God. It was over a month after my dad died that I went back to church. I still get angry with Him about it, but pray and talk to Him and ask Him to help get me through this.
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- It's hard for people who haven't lost a parent at a relatively young age to understand, but I do have a friend that lost her mom not long after my dad died. We've been able to talk with each other. I also have a large supportive family.
- Talking Working / Worked
- Talking is good. But when people don't understand what I'm going through, they say things to try to make me feel better, but I end up irritated because the comments come off as insensitive or lame.
- Time Working / Worked
- It's not really easier, but I've learned to adjust a bit better. I don't think it will ever be easy or will ever really get better.
Open Pregnancy After Loss/Infertility
My husband and I have struggled with infertility for two and a half years. In July 08, I miscarried and had a D&C. Now, over a year later, I'm pregnant again! Due around July 4.
