Hi,
I am new to this site. My husband and I are both on active duty in the AF. We have been TTC#1 since 02/02. We recently moved to the DC area and are going to Walter Reed for treatment now. I have PCOS and severe endometriosis. We have tried almost everything except IVF. I have gained a lot of weight from the different drugs and PCOS and it is starting to affect my career-PT scores-I was wondering if any other active duty women were going through the same thing.
Also, has anyone had success with IUI?

Hi Felicia!
I am active duty army and am now in the middle of IVF#1. I also have PCOS; which causes my IF. The drugs and everything have taken a toll on my body as well! Right now I'm on strict no exercising (due to the injectables) but if this round fails I will have to get back into shape quickly. Thankfully I recently moved out of a tactical unit into a HQ, so PT isn't as big of an issue (plus i have an understanding boss)
It does add another layer to the frustration though... wanting to give your body a break to concentrate on TTC, but needing to keep your exercise level up to keep fit for military standards!
Best of Luck!
Laura

Thanks! Good luck to you also. 30% of the new AF PT test is based on your waste measurement.....which obviously the drugs and PCOS don't help with! How are the injectibles going? I will probably be starting those soon depending on some of the clomid challenge test results. Which hospital are you doing your IVF at?
