Hi Sandy,

Just wanted to welcome you to BellyBelly and wish you luck on your AC TTC journey.

There are wonderful, supportive people on BellyBelly (BB) who can really offer understanding as to what you're going through. You should join in some of the threads such as the LTTTC&AC thread here. There's people there who are going through their first cycle like yourself and others that have unfortunately much experience in AC, but are very happy to share their experience and knowledge to help you in your journey.

Starting FSH injections for the first time is really scary - I felt that way - it's funny, but I found I did get used to doing them quite quickly. I really hope that it's only the one round of FSH you will need to do and that you have your baby in your arms before long.

Good luck,

Miss C

Hi, my name is Jess and this is my first post. I have PCOS and have been TTC for almost 3 years. We first started on Clomid which didn't really help, we then had one round of IUI which wasn't successful. Our FS then suggested IVF which we are just in the process of starting now. I started on the FSH injections yesterday - it was quiet scary this morning having to do it myself. I will have a blood test and scan on Monday to see what is happening. It is good to be able to ready about other peoples experiences and to know you are not alone in what you are going through.

gosh its crazy reading all these stories, u really think this can only happen to me until u read or come across amazing stories like this!!

instead of lurking on this thread i thought i might post and see how everyone is

I have been ttc with my husband for 2 years and honestly sandy i can totally relate to ure story with the weight and pcos i was diagnosed wen i was 17 but never knew that it could affect things like this until we saw our amazing FS at monash!
all u ladies are inspirational everytime i want to give up on FSH injections or clomid cycles i just read your stories im hoping with my next cycle of FSH starting in janueary after a nice break things might start to look up theres nothing worse then being told u cant have kids unless u shed some serious kilos ugh! all i can say is good luck to everyone trying out there i wish nothing but the best to u all and to all who have had positive results congratulation xxxxx

I think I finally found my thread! I too have PCOS and have been trying for over 12 months (have done 5 cycles of highest Clomid + Metformin and nothing).

A new FS says I could have laparoscopy to burn the follicles and that often results in natural ovulation. Has anyone heard of this?

The other options is FSH injections. Are these difficult to manage? I work full time and travel a bit for work so am worried that I won't always be able to do the testing and monitoring etc.

Thanks - hope some of you have had some luck!
