i am 25 years old with PCOS. DH is 26 years old with severely low sperm count (1.6 million/ml).
we have been TTC naturally (with no luck since i don't ovulate on my own) since April. now that we got back from our honeymoon i was ready for clomid (prescribed by my ob/gyn). this was my first round of clomid 50mg on CD5-9. i decided to see a RE also, who told me that IVF was our best option, with my PCOS and his low count. needless to say i was devastated, esp because my insurance doesn't cover IVF. she told me to finish off the cycle of clomid though while i do all the necessary testing. DH has to do two more SA's in the next two weeks just to make sure the first test wasn't a fluke.
the first good news i've gotten in 6 months, i think i actually ovulated this past Friday night (CD17) on my first round of clomid. all the signs pointed to it: EWCM (which I've never experienced before in my life), positive LH OPK Friday and Saturday, and a spike in BBT. i even felt slight cramps for two days on my right side. i actually thought at one point i *felt* the actual ovulation, which is weird! needless to say we at 6pm Friday and then later again that night. haven't done it since though because DH has to save up for his SA.
so i'm trying to stay cautiously optimistic, since it only takes 1 to make a baby. now i'm just waiting, fingers crossed, for the . i figured since i would wait until at least 7 DPO (Oct 1) before i tested. waiting is killin me!! haha
wishing you all the best of luck, fingers crossed.
