how long has everyone been trying ** Survey*

[nevernormal]

I had one doctor last year who gave it to me and then said "come back in 6 months if you're not pregnant" I wasn't happy with that level of monitoring (or... non monitoring?) so I took a break after 3 months. My doctor here has me come in once/cycle for a pelvic exam to check for cysts, and also looks at my CM to see if it looks post-ov, and has done a cd21 progesterone test. It's the perfect level of monitoring for me =). Plus I pay everything out of pocket (no NHS in the US, and don't have insurance that would pay for it!), so I wouldn't be able to afford ultrasound monitoring or anything. It's expensive, but it's nice to feel like you're in with a chance!

1. 1 year & 2 months
2. If I don't turn out to be pregnant this cycle, next cycle is up in the air. I will do a natural cycle if my doctor won't do IUI, and after that I'm starting with the fertility center here.
3. No diagnosis...just unexplained. DH is fine, I've had HSG, blood tests, ultrasounds and everything looks to be normal, and I ovulate every single month.
4. Nope.
5. Not that I know of.

Next month on the 18th will mark two years of ttc! I never thought there was anything wrong with me but now I'm pretty sure I might have pcos, I do indeed have alot of the symptoms and signs. I took s quiz online about pcos and it said that I could very much have it because I have alot of symptoms. I was however very blessed with a wonderful baby boy back in 2007, he will be 5yrs old in October. He is my ex though not my hubby, so its been upsetting!! I know my hubby got good sperm because he has two girls, three boys with his ex. Its very depression to know she got pregnant all those times but I never can now, I actually was good friends with my husband for a few years before we got together. So, I was around when his ex was getting pregnant and I was very jealous because I always had a big crush on hubby but didn't think we ever be together and married !! I wouldn't change it for the world, right now I'm on CD 5 out of 35 and I believe due to O the 14th of September. I actually plan on renting a fertility monitor this month where it can confirm ovulation, accuracy level with a vaginal sensor, provides complete fertility window and lastly advance notice of ovulation. So I'm going to rent that till I get pregnant an also I want to try *insulite*, its helps with pcos also infertility!! Heard a few success stories on here about it and its $97 for a months supply but cheaper for a three month or bigger supply!. Babydust to all you ladies I hope one day we all get our

1. Since July 2011. We haven't really been "trying" since we found out we didn't have any sperm to work with. Got referred to the clinic in December 2011 and have been waiting to start trying again since then.

2. Since DH's testosterone was normal in June (no idea how he went from hypogonadism to low normal), we are going do to one last SA before moving on to donor sperm IUI. We were going to do donor sperm IUI in July/August but we had a Hep C scare. Turns out he just had the antibodies (must have been the 25% that beats it on their own) and we were just given to green light to move ahead of AF ever shows up. She has been MIA since I stopped the pill almost 3 weeks ago when my cycle was canceled suddenly. I have to take the pill for a cycle before doing anything due to my high LH.

3. Him: Azoospermia and testicular failure but he now has normal low testosterone so we have no idea what that means. Me: High LH.

4. I have a 4 year old from a previous relationship. The bio father is not in the picture.

5. None. Just grief from knowing DH will never have a bio baby.
