TTC 6+ Months -- October

Hi ladies! Just coming over to check in. I'm still not in the game this month, but will be in November!!

Just saw my RE today and ummm, I have a new diagnosis - PCOS. My doc seemed very calm and nonchalant about the whole thing. She said it's why I have oily skin and occasional acne, why I have problems losing weight, and the irregular cycles. She said since I've already responded well to Clomid, that it shouldn't play too much a part in me conceiving using IUI.

Today is CD16 of my current cycle. I will have CD3 b/w done and then an HSG (yuck!!). I will go in for a follow-up and "regrouping" appointment in 4 weeks (from today!). We will then proceed with the IUI in the following cycle (that cycle *should* start around Nov-8).

I will take 50mg of Clomid (really wish she would have prescribed 100, but she *is* the doc), and then they'll do an U/S on day 12/13 and then trigger (I get to join that club too!). It's kinda funny, I already have all the prescriptions for it all. I couldn't believe it when she handed it all to me. I need to find a really safe place for all of it so I don't lose it in the next 6 weeks.

Wow... only 6 weeks and we will finally have a REAL chance of me getting PG!!!!

I hope to see some sticky beans from this board this month!

Alison, that is fantastic. Things are happening so quickly. A new diagnosis always sux, but it seems you guys are moving forward and that is good.

Ruth, I know what you mean how this whole process reminds you that you don't have control over your life.

Continuing the conversation about why we are so quiet at times here, I think at some point IF just becomes another part of life. When I first started TTC, it took over my life and I thought of so many things in terms of TTC. Obviously you can't go on like that forever and no matter how much I wish things were different, reality has told me that I can't go on and truly expect each cycle to end with a BFP or plan everything I do around the idea that I may have a baby in 9 months. So the day to day TTC is more in the background of my thoughts now and so I don't feel the need to come here and write down every little thing. But it is always there and of course I think of you girls and want to continue to know what is going on with everyone.

I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Friday and a wonderful weekend!

WARNING: BIG whine coming up....

Well what I thought was going to turn into being a good day yesterday went bust rather quickly.
