I'm 28 and my husband is 27. I've been married to the greatest man for just over 2 years (I love being his wife) and we've been TTC since June 2007. I have a mild case of PCOS, mainly an ovulatory dysfunction. (No acne, weight is healthy, etc.) We began seeing an RE in May, and he's fantastic! We feel very lucky, because he's one of the top fertility doctors in the nation, and people fly from around the world to see him. My husband's sperm count is fine (he's very proud of his super sperm), so that was good news. Our RE told us that he could get us pregnant by the end of this year if not before, so we're really happy! Apparently my type of fertility issue is easy to fix. My HSG returned normal, tubes are open, uterus looks fine, it's just that I don't ovulate on my own, and have crazy irregular cycles without meds.(anywhere from 28 to 81 days). I've been taking 2000 mg of Metformin since March (1000 mg before that for 2 months), and we just had our first IUI on June 5, with over 20 million of hubby's super sperm ;) (I used Menopur as well as 50 mg of Clomid, and then a trigger shot of Novarel) so we're keeping our fingers crossed. I'll know by the 19th if I'm pregnant or not.
