Ok, so i took a break. asked to leave the site and got no response. i am fallin in that dark hole again within myself. i feel empty at times. i am 29 and have now capped out on insurance for IF and I went to IVF NJ and blame them for not being thorough. I was learning as i went. Unfortunately too late. Here I am several months later and gee, no surprise. No PG. I have PCOS. I have always had symptoms but it has gotten worse over the past 5 years or so and in the past year i notice its worse

Treatments

Artificial Insemination Too Soon to Tell

Have now had three. My first IUI I used clomid and ovidrel prior to IUI. I was in extreme pain and discomfort for over a week after and it felt like i was kicked in my right ovary. i developed large cysts. Round 2 I used Follistim and Ovidrel, made 3 good follies. Discomfort that day and light spotting. Day after I felt fine. Now onto round 3.

Clomid Not Working

used this 5x. even at 200mg i only made one egg. I had breakthrough bleeding, fatigue, loss of motivation and was a monster byotch to my spouse. I am moving on to stim shots.

Follistim Working / Worked

moving on to 2nd cycle with this. First round started at 150 iu and made too many follies, reduced me to 75 iu. In the end i had 2 follies in the lead and 3 more behind which is why they lowered the dose, so all 5 wouldnt mature. This round I am starting at 100iu. I have no side effects and dont mind the needle, its pretty small.

hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) Working / Worked

I definetly ovulated. I have had pain in my right ovary since the day after I did it. It made me ovulate but I never achieved pregnancy. I get very very bloated and have been asked if i was pregnant, told i look fat, feel fat and other than that it is fine. I dont mind doing shots and i thought i would but i dont.

Ovulation Predictor Kit Working / Worked

i didnt know that the Ovidrel would give a false positive so it was fruitless to use this.

Progesterone Working / Worked

i hate that i have to use them. my progesterone was 5.4 on day 4 past the day of the Ovidrel. My BBs are sore from that. After I got a BFN I asked my Prog. level, it only went up to 9.4

Writing Working / Worked

I am fighting with my faith and have stopped going to church. I gave myself to God and was so religious. I prayed for several months and then got diagnosed with this cruel joke of a disease. I dont understand it. I journal so that I dont scream and cry. I am a moody person since i can remember and it helps to write. I could write for hours.
