Hello everybody! I'd like to reintroduce myself since I'll likely be jumping back in to the world of fertility treatments.
Warning: Living child and loss mentioned below.
I used to be active on this board when I was going through fertility treatments up until two years ago. Several years ago I was diagnosed with anovulatory PCOS (my RE thought I had never ovulated in my life and I would typically only have 3 periods a year when I was off bc). I underwent about 8 months of Letrozole/TI and Letrozole/IUI treatments. Consents were signed to start IVF after our last IUI was canceled due to an over response to my last dose of Letrozole, but we decided to take a shot with TI that cycle (knowing the chance for multiples) and became pregnant with our now 16 month son. Crazily enough, my cycles regulated after a couple months postpartum and it looked like I was ovulating. We want to have our kids as close together as possible so I never went back on bc.
Fast forward 9 months and I took a random pregnancy test just so I could be sure I could have a glass of wine I just poured. I was a couple days or a week late but based on my history of 238923578645 negative tests, I was SHOCKED to see it turn positive. No treatments, no active TI, nothing. Sadly though, I lost the baby at 7.5 weeks. I would have been due at the end of next month. I hate that I have to say that. I hate that I wore a bikini to the pool yesterday because I should have been as big as a whale cooling myself off sitting in the kiddie pool. UGH!
Anyway...we've been actively trying to get pregnant since I recovered from that miscarriage with no luck. I have a doctor's appointment with my PCP at the end of this month. Due to a change of insurance I can't go back to my previous RE immediately since I need a referral. So here we go again....
On another note, I'm primarily a housewife and work part time as a therapist. I hope to be able to get back in to this awesome community. I hope you'll have me.
