    About Me

    I'm a 26 year old woman. I've been happliy married to my best friend for 4 years, and counting. We have been trying to have a baby since we were married with no luck. We're trying to focus on becoming foster parents while I work toward becoming an LPN. I can't wait to meet everyone and start mingling.

    Interests

    I loved..... LOVED being a housewife. Anything that has to do with keeping a home, I love. I like to read, sew clothes, crochet, cross stitch, knitting and all that jazz. I have been studing photography for years, unoffically of course. I'm always ready to try something new with a camera. I have an unhealthy addiction to recipe collecting and CSI.

    • Close Infertility

      I have been diagnosed with PCOS and have been TTC for four years now, with little luck.

      Treatments

      Artificial Insemination Working / Worked
      I did become pregant everytime, but ususally miscarried soon after pregnancy was confirmed due to hormone problems.
      Basal Thermometer Somewhat Helpful
      It showed my doctors that while the blood work showed I did ovulate, the truth was that I didn't.
      Clomid Working / Worked
      Clomid never failed to provide me with six or more viable eggs.
      hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) Working / Worked
      Use with Clomid to stiulate the eggs to be released. Otherwise I wouldn't ovulate
      HSG (Hysterosalpingography) Somewhat Helpful
      It showed that I had more problems than orginally thought, but can we all say.... OUCH!
      In Vitro Fertilization Working / Worked
      Again...OUCH and the proceedure worked everytime, but as before miscarried soon after preganancy was confirmed.
      Metformin Working / Worked
      I currently take 1000mg a day and have been for years now. It does help with some of the PCOS symptoms
      Progesterone Somewhat Helpful
      I had to take a synthetic progesterone in an attempt to maintain pregnancy, but my body is was too smart to be fooled by a fake. It didn't really help any.
