IcomLeaveWe - May 2009

I am new to the IcomLeaveWe (ICLW)... this is my first time! I was going through a few blogs to leave my comments and realized that some of the bloggers had a summary of their journey for ICLW... and it was a little easier to figure out what was going on in their journey. So here is mine:

  • 2000 - PCOS diagnosed (symptoms under control)
  • 2004 - PCOS on a high (symptoms: acne, mood swings, weight gain, male pattern baldness, excessive hair growth)
  • Mar 2005 - Start BCP (Yasmin)
  • 2007 to 2008 - Try to loose weight (lost 20 lbs)
  • Apr 2008 - Off BCP (TTC)
  • May to Sept 2008 - Return of the PCOS (symptoms: acne, mood swings, male pattern baldness, excessive hair growth)
  • Oct 2008 - Start seeing RE
  • Oct to Jan 2009 - Diagnostic (HSG, saline u/s, b/w, s/a), result: of course PCOS, some morphology issues (great sperm count, motility)
  • Jan 2009 - Start Acupuncture
  • Feb 2009 - IUI # 1 (w/ injectables - BFN), OHSS like symptoms
  • Mar 2009 - Cyst (cycle cancelled)
  • Apr 2009 - IUI # 2 (w/ injectables - BFN)
  • May 2009 - IUI # 3 (in progress - 2WW), preping for a possible IVF

Hope to connect with a lot more IF bloggers through the ICLW. Good luck to everybody!

  1. ICLW is fantastic, I've found the most amazing women (and men) through it and these days I'm not sure what I'd do without my bloggy friends.

    I hope your 2ww flies by for you and you get the news you're hoping for.

  4. This is my first month with ICLW. I had to try it because I have found all the "friends" I have met through blogging are so understanding and supporting. More so than some of my "close" friends. Welcome and nice to meet you, new friend! :)

  7. Thanks for the comment on my blog.

    For a while I took Evening Primrose Oil for EWCM. The rest were mainly vitamins. Our RE didn't know about that because we took a year to figure out how to pay for IVF without pursuing any ART. Now I am taking "Xiao Yao San" (Relaxed Wanderer) which I got from my acupuncturist. We haven't seen the RE since last May, so I will be asking him about it at our appointment on June 4th

    I am hoping and crossing all fingers and toes that this is the cycle for you. You have had a long road, and I am sure you are beyond frustrated... but you have a great attitude. Looking forward to following your story...

    Hugs and happy Friday!

    I haven't had much experience with the herbal stuff yet; so far I am only on blue-green algae. (I am still pretty new to the alternative/TCM route.)

    Best of luck to you in your 2WW - hope you get some good news soon!! (ICLW)
