October ICLW

Happy ICLW!

I had to post again so that if you're new here, your first impression isn't that post below. I felt a little weird after i posted it but I was just so darn excited. And when I think about it, it's no different than blogging about how many follicles I have or how big they are. And lately there have been no follicles, so...

Anyway, I'm off track. Hi! I'm Jill and I have PCO. I have very few periods naturally and I don't think I ovulate during most or any of those cycles. I went to my OB to ask for help getting pregnant last fall. So it's officially been one year of proactive ttc. But I had been off of birth control for several years before that. Clo.mid worked once for me and I got pregnant but miscarried shortly after. I conceived in February and that was the last time I ovulated, even though I've been using Clo.mid again. I am very close to getting shipped off to an RE.

Other than that, I live with my hubby and two Boston Terriers in the Phoenix area. Hubby is a teacher and I am a scientist. We just bought a house and will be closing in two weeks. Exciting times! I'm excited to find some new blogs and maybe get a few comments, too. Have a great week!

  3. yeah, don't feel weird,
    when my husband went had his SA they
    let us look at them under the microscope
    There were only a couple of them still swimming
    but I had this WEIRD sense of pride, I was
    giddy happy to see them!

  5. In the world of IF we need to get excited about anything we can and a good sa result is a great thing to be excited about! I really hope you can have success after your m/c. I am proud of you for not giving up after something like that. As I know, it would be so easy to do. Have a good ICLW!

  10. Thanks for your comment on my blog! And Congratulations on your new house!

    I have a really good friend IRL, who has PCOS and Clomid stopped working for her as well. Have you been checked for an Insulin Resistance? Once she started focusing on that, her cycles started to improve. Acupuncture was benficial for her as well. I hope that doesn't sounds like assvice.

    Best wishes!

  13. Nice to 'meet' you through ICLW. I wish you the best of luck with the clomid cycle. I was on it for a while, and it help regulate my menstrual cycles, but made my lining thin so the RE took me off it. I really hope it owrks for you.

    I have a friend who lives in the Phoenix area and I am dying to visit AZ.
