Hi everyone!
I am new here and wanted to get some advice and opinions on my current situation.
My DH (29) and I (31) have been married for 6 years and we have finally decided to TTC our first. This, of course, is exciting for us but yet worrisome for me. I have always had typically long cycles (around 35 days) until I started birth control. Once I stopped taking my birth control, my cycles went back to normal. However, about 6 months following that I had some issues where I would not have a period for about 3 months and this has happened several times since 2008 but not within the past year
I have recently gone to my OB/GYN to have a full work up done on myself to make sure everything is a GO. My friend, who is a NP, and I have always thought that my problems could be related to PCOS. (Sidenote: I have been overweight my whole life, it is difficult to lose weight, I do have excessive hair growth under my chin and on my chest) So I finally decided to have all of this checked out, YAY! After a whole day of poking and prodding, my ultrasound came back normal, the majority of my hormone profiles came back normal except for testosterone which was slightly high (no numbers were given to me). I am waiting on my progesterone results to come in which may not be for the next several days.
On the TTC aspect: I had two + OPK results on days 22 and 23 of my cycle and we did the deed on both of those days plus one (per Dr's orders).
I guess, most of all, I wanted to see if anyone has had the same experiences and practically to see what you all thought considering this is all new to me. I am a science driven person and this is all driving me nuts because I'm having a hard time figuring this one out. Advice welcomed and needed!!!
Sorry this is so long. Thanks!
