Hi it is Kimmie
Some of you might remember me. I have been here for over 2 years now. For those of you who do not here is the short version:
I went off Depo in Dec 2003 and began TTCing in Feb 2005. I have had many losses prior and after my son, who is 10 years old now. I ended up on Clomid due to the side effects and infertility Depo caused and m/c'ed 5 more times in the last 2 years. So here is the update.
I have been seeing the best RE in New England for the past 3 months. She did extensive tests on both DH and I to determine exactly what the issues are. I have PCOS (rare form) and MTHFR factor. After meeting with her on the 19th we were given the go ahead to TTC again on Clomid. So currently I am on 2000 mg Metformin (elevated DHEA and testosterone associated with PCOS and reduces m/c risk), 100 mg of Clomid (fixes LPD associated with PCOS), prenatals, 850 mcg Folic Acid (MTHFR factor), 250 mg B-6 (MTHFR factor), 250 mcg B-12 (MTHFR factor), 81 mg baby asprin (MTHFR factor), and 200 mg of Prometrium from 'o' till AF or 12 weeks to reduce m/c risk. I will also be getting the hCG trigger shot when my CBEFM turns peak and I get a pos OPK.
When I get PG I will have BhCG drawn every 3 days and u/s every week from 5 weeks to 12 weeks. This doc is very good and I feel confident that we will be PG very soon. After 3 rounds of this regime we will add IUI to it. We have found out our insurence pays for half so we are very fortunate.
So there is my update for those who remember me. For those who have any questions about PCOS, IF, and related issues let me know....I have a wealth of knowlege to share.
