For those of you who dont know me... I am 32... had my baby girl Kaitlyn in January of 2002 - conceived successfully after loosing 45lbs and having 3 cycles of Clomid induced ovulations.

Since Kaitlyn was born, I gained 70ish lbs... had AF for 10 months straight, after stopping breastfeeding when she was 7 months old... and finally stopped bleeding 10 months later thanks to BCP's. Stayed on them for 5 months, then quit - and AF has been absent since this past February.

I was diagnosed with PCOS in 1999. I have never ever ever had a *normal* cycle - without the use of synthetic hormones :rolleyes:

Currently I am back on Weight Watchers - have lost 20lbs since May 1st so far... and I FINALLY got my call to see my fertility doctor (Dr Reid) after my family Dr sent in my referral in March :yippee:

Since I ovulated at 100mg of Clomid last time... I hope that we are successful in conceiving after our 1st month ;) I will be taking my daily temperature and plan on re-subbing to Fertility Friend too (last time I used LifeCycle and it helped me alot to know when my O date was... I ovulate late, around day 19-20).

Look forward to getting to know you ladies in this leg of my *Getting Preg Journey*.

Good Luck! I plan on starting clomid again in August/September. I haven't started charting yet, but like you I need to because I O late on the clomid too (CD 28 when I got PG I believe).

Hi everyone!

Andrea ~ I O'ed on CD 20... and without clomid... I dont ovulate at all. :rolleyes: Gotta love that PCOS eh :lol: Oh well - at least I know that it worked last time... so I am not stressing at all like I did last time.

Dh and I have agreed that we are going to try Clomid again...and if I am not preg within about 6-12months... we are calling it quits and will be happy as a family of 3. I am not going to get into the whole IVF and other surgeries to try and conceive, nor are we prepared to adopt. I believe that if this doesnt work this time round, then God has His reasons - and anyways He has given me one of His best flowers from His garden anyhow :)
