A tale of PCOS, infertility, love, life and trying to adapt to the curveballs life throws at us

Woo-hoo!
This is a little belated—but better late than never, right? Please go visit Samantha at Southern Infertility and offer her your best wishes. After an insanely frustrating, neverending cycle of IVF and OHSS, she has some beautiful-looking beta numbers!
7/06 - After 3 months and no period, see OB. She puts me on progesterone to see if my body starts to "work itself out."
11/06 - Work itself out? Ha! OB finally caves and performs all sorts of blood tests on DH and me. All tests, including HSG, are normal. I am diagnosed with PCOS and start 50 mg Clomid. No ovulation.
2/07 - I try 100 mg Clomid. Ovulation on CD18, BFN. In the meantime, I see an RE for a second opinion.
4/07 - RE starts me on Metformin. One of these days my eggs will shape up and work like they should...
6-07 - Cycle #1 Femara - BFP!
11-07 - We find out our son has no bladder or kidneys - a lethal malformation - and decide to terminate the pregnancy at 20 weeks. Zachary Andrew is stillborn on Nov. 7.
1/08 - During rest cycle before treatment, BFP!
10/08 - Our baby boy Tyler is born
11/10 - Start TTC #2 the old-fashioned way
3/11 - After seeing my RE again, find out I have Hashimoto's Disease (hypothyroidism). Must stop TTC and get thyroid straightened out.
9/11 - Finally get approved to start TTC again. Currently on Cycle #1 of letrozole.
