I don't know if anyone remembers me, as it has been a long time since I posted (I also used to go by 35andTTC#1, no longer 35 so changed my name).
Anyways, I thought I would share my good news and tell you all not to give up. I have PCOS and DH has VERY low sperm count (2MM total count). We were told IVF was the way to go, unfortuntately we can not afford that as insurance does not cover. We were trying clomid, IUI's and prog supplements (as I suffer from low progesterone also). We did 2 months of IUI's and took a break the next month. Well you guessed it during the break it finally happened! I tested BFP a few weeks ago and even now I still can't believe it.
As luck would have it my first P4 showed pretty close to OK progesterone. It did drop the following week, so dr has me back on supplements and I am hoping to see it go back up next week.
Again I say don't give up, if it can happen for me, it can happen for anyone. Funny thing is the month of my break, I kept saying to myself that I didn't know if I could do "this" anymore and maybe I just needed to wake up and realize it wasn't going to happen for us. And then lo & behold ....
