    • About Me

      I am 25 and have been married since June 2008. We moved to the south from NY 3 years ago to buy a house to raise a family in. We have been together for 4 years and have been TTC since we got married. I was diagnosed with PCOS at 15 and it seems our only option to conceive is through IVF since I do not ovulate. I want nothing more than to be a wonderful, loving mother.

      Type: Hormonal Disorders

      PCOS diagnosed at age 15

      Treatments

      Artificial Insemination Not Working
      We did 2 IUIs, one in April 2009 and the other in June 2009. Neither worked.
      Clomid Not Working
      First tried Clomid in January but it did nothing to stimulate ovulation so our doctor suggested we immediately move to IUI.
      Folic Acid Too Soon to Tell
      I have been taking a prenatal vitamin with folic acid for the entire year we have been ttc.
      Follistim Working / Worked
      I used Follistim with both of my IUI's. It only stimulated the growth of 1 follicle. I used it again with IVF and got 9 embryos, 4 which were grade A 8-celled.
      hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) Somewhat Helpful
      Worked as part of the IUI cycles we did but we did not get pregnant. Used again during IVF.
      In Vitro Fertilization Too Soon to Tell
      Blood test 11/6 to see if first round of IVF worked.
      Lupron Working / Worked
      Used during IVF.
      Metformin Too Soon to Tell
      I have been on metformin since I was diagnosed with PCOS at 15.
      Progesterone Working / Worked
      My levels are looking good.
