Hi,

I have PCOS and my husband has sperm issues. We tried clomid to start and it didn't get me to ovulate ( but it does help a lot of people). We then tried OI which is ovulation induction using injectable hormones and timed intercourse. Great thing was I ovulated every time, but we did not fall pregnant. We tried about 6 times with this and then 'graduated' to IVF/ICSI. We did one stimulated cycle with a fresh transfer which was a BFN but we got lots of embies to freeze. Next came a HRT FET and what do you know - BFP! I now have a 21 month old DD as a result.

I guess my advise is that sometimes it takes trying a few different things before finding the one that works for you. We did not try menevit so I have no advice on that. My PCOS does not present with weight gain so losing weight would not have helped in my situation. However, since having my DD for the first time ever I have a regular 30 day cycle!

I wish you luck in your journey and hope that it is a short and sweet one. There are lots of us unfortunately in a similar position.

Thank you all for taking the time out to post replies to my thread! Was great to hear your feedback and to hear that for many of you - you've got that little bundle you were after!

I am confident i can make this work - although keeping realistic about things at the same time!

I hope to keep in touch with you over the 'journey' (ahhh i hate that word - sounds so 'reality tv' to me)!!

Much love and luck to you all!

I echo the sentiments of others - infertility sucks and to be on this road sucks but.....rather than be discouraged by your results try and look at it as a good thing. If the docs know the problems then they also know how to teat them. For years all I wanted to be told was that something was wrong - not you're both perfectly fine no problems. There are plenty of women and couples who have had similar diagnosis and gone on to have trouble free pregnancies.

All the best.
