Hi everyone!

I am new to this site, but have been TTC for a over a year now. We have been medicated for the past 4 months and I am currently in the TWW to see if this is our month.

I was diagnosed with PCOS and I have very low progesterone levels during my luteal phase. I am currently taking Metformin, Femara, and this was the first month of using two ovidrel shots. I took one for ovulation and then another one 5 days later to boost progesterone. My 21 day progesterone check this month was only 8.9. The nurse assured me that there is still hope for this month, but everything I have read says it needs to be above 10, preferably about 15 for a strong ovulation.

Has anyone else tried this? Did it end in a BFP? Will it stretch out the length of my cycle? I am currently on day 28 and still no sign of AF. The past three months my cycles have only been 26 & 27 days... so I feel like we are making progress!

Say your prayers for us!

[Justme43]

I am new here. I recently suffered a miscarriage after a surprise pregnancy at 43. I did not think I could get pregnant so it was a welcomed miracle when I found out. Then after weeks of going back and forth to the doctor, my little one never sustained a heartbeat. So my fiance' and I decided after what seemed like an eternity that there was no hope, so I had a d&c. That was last week on Friday. So now, I am working on getting back in shape and clearing this fog in my head as I heal physically. We do plan to try again, but now I just need to be surrounded by those who understand.

[Zaya]

Hello everyone,

I am a Mom of a very stubborn baby boy (2013) and I have a wonderful husband whom I have been married to since 2008. We live in the Chicago area.

Achieving pregnancy has been a struggle for us in the past as we were made to wait 3 years to conceive our son. He is now 2 y/o and we've been hoping for a sibling for him for about 18 months now.

We are one step closer to that goal this month as I just got my first bfp over the weekend, and now I'm just nervous about the viability of the pregnancy, as I also have a mc and a few chemicals haunting me in my past.

This is a wonderful forum and I feel privileged to be part of your group!
