I had to use fertility treatments to conceive my son. I have PCOS so I was on clomid, prometrium and had trigger shots. I was monitored and did IUIs. My son is now 16 months old. I'm really wanting #2. The plan was to start ttc again in Nov, but in a "heat of the moment

:" minute I rescheduled the appt for the 21st of this month. Now I am sick to my stomach. Im excited by im on edge and scared. Did you feel the same way? Is it normal to feel this way? Im so nervous. The thought of all that again makes me sick to my stomach. But I want to cry and feel sad at the thought of waiting.

If you have PCOS, why the heck are you not on metformin? Or metformin with clomid? And why the IUI's? Is there male factor involved?

If you know all about metformin and for some reason it just doesn't work for you, then sorry for butting in, im not trying to be a witch here, but it sounds to me like you are on the WAY outdated, wrong protocol for infertility related to PCOS, and I juat wanted to make sure you knoew that metformin should be the first line of treatment for a woman with PCOS, because some women have doctors who are so far behind, they have them doing less-effective, outdated treatment, when they could be using much easier, less invasive, cutting edge treatment.

I personally am getting ready to have number 2....we use metformin, sometimes with clomid, if my cycles are longish, and thyroid meds for my thyroid condition, and an EXTENSIVE vitamin regimen for dh, who has sperm issues. It is a daunting prospect...but for me, the prospect of possibly having hyperemesis again, and doing nothing but feeling like crap and puking my guts out for 5 fricken months, ...but this time with a toddler to chase around....THAT is what is scaring me....oh, and the thought of another hellishly painful birth.
The actualy conception.....doesn't worry me so much, LOL!

LOL, no, Im not worried about the actual conception part. Its all that comes after it and what it means for the future like you described.

I am on metformin. I just didn't mention it because that is the first line for everyone with PCOS. I take it for granted and expect people to already know that. I need IUIs because there is male factor infertility in that there just isn't any

There isn't a man in the picture and just to make sure...no woman either. Im a SMBC (single mom by choice) I dont have time to wait to have kids so I've had to go it alone. I hope to find someone later on though.

LOL, okay...i remember some joke about going to the gyno, being asked if you are sexually active, saying yes, then being asked what you use for birth conrtol...uumm..my girlfriend and i don't use sperm?
Sorry, made me laugh...
sigh....i know, i'm seriously lame..but in my defense, i haven't slept in 2 years, LOL!

In answer to your question...YES
for the last few months, i literally waiver from day to day about wanitng another one..generally, on the good days, i desperately want anotherone..on the crappy days, or days when i feel sick.....i SO don';t want another one...the thought of not getting to sleep for another 2 years makes me want to die (dd has JUST started waking only 1-2 times at night)...the thought of another possible 5 months of hyperemesis makes me want to die.
The thought of having to go through labor again makes me want to die.
The thouight of ripping from clit to anus again, and taking 10 MONTHS to heal, makes me want to die....

but, all the wonderful things make me want to jump with joy....

So yes, I'm right there with ya!
