We haven't been actively TTC for 2 years just yet (2 year mark will be December), but we haven't been preventing in over 5 years now so I guess I qualify!
I'm Shawn Ann, DH is Brandon. I was diagnosed with PCOS way back in April 1995 and have been coming to these boards for almost 2 years now (when we officially started TTC with medical help). I'm getting ready to start CY#3 while participating in a study to help women with PCOS get pregnant. So far the meds have been working, I've actually O'd two cycles now, but haven't gotten preggo yet. I mostly friequent the PCOS, Clomid, TTC #1, & TTC: Working boards, but thought it was time to join you ladies that may be able to help out with having more experience. I'm still deciding if I want to bother temping this next cycle or if I want to relieve some unwanted morning stress and take a chance.
I guess that's enough yacking from me for now. Good luck to all of you ladies!!
to our home away from home! I remember you from other sites on this board and the old board! Sorry to see you here but at the same time glad that you found us. I'm happy to see that you have enrolled in a medical trial for PCOS. I have recently just started taking Metformin 3 X's a day for Insulin Resistance.
As for the temping while taking Clomid...I never had good temps with Clomid...I used to have higher temps with Clomid that it never helped. I would get screened with u/s up until trigger with HCG shot and then I would go in for timed IUI. I was also told not to bother temping because they are monitoring me...it also takes away from the stress.
Well, just wanted to say hello and welcome you hope to hear from you more!
Kim

I'm glad that you found us...I know what you mean about not exactly been TTC for 2 years. November will be our 2 year mark but we haven't been preventing it since we got married 07/01, so it's just past 3 years!
I'm sorry I don't know too much about PCOS...but if you don't want to temp what about OPK's?? Just a thought, that is what I am using this time around.

Kim: I recognize your name from other boards, good to see a "familiar face" around.
Kris: The bad thing with PCOS is you can't really count on OPK since when you have PCOS your hormones are usually so out of wack you get bad results. I used them two cycles ago and got +++OPK right around O time, but this last cycle I never got a +++OPK I'll probably continue to temp since I'm so used to it.
I'm sorry you've had to join us but I hope you make some good friends and find the support you seek while you are here. We have a great group here who have been through a lot so if you have questions ask away! It's a little slow lately but we go in spurts so hang in there! Good luck with the PCOS study, let's hope you are a positive statistic!
