Let me give you a little bit of background first, so it's not terribly confusing.
When my husband and I first started TTC (trying to conceive), it was 2007. I went off birth control early that year, and started temping a few months later. My charts were crazy and looked nothing like others that I had seen. Plus, my menstrual cycles were pretty irregular, something I hadn't experienced pre-birth control. Six months into charting, I decided it was time to see a doctor. I knew something was up. I had to wait until January 2008 (a few weeks away at that point) so I would have insurance.
My Gyn (Dr. 1) took a look at my charts said right away I wasn't ovulating. I was set up for ultrasounds, bloodwork, etc. The full work up. Dr. 1 told me I had PCOS. And the ultrasound revealed that I had a large (football sized) cyst sitting on my fallopian tube. A second ultrasound (only a few weeks later) revealed that it was getting bigger by the minute.
It was decided that I could get surgery. So I did in April 08. Directly after the surgery, Dr. 1 told me that the cyst wasn't the problem. She said I would never conceive without medical help. We were devastated.
However, a few weeks later, I found out I ovulated on my own. and a few days after that, I found out we were expecting Lovebug. All on our own. A few comments from Dr. 1 that were negative, made me decide she was not the OB GYN for me, and I moved on to Dr. 2.

The very first visit with Dr. 2- I asked if I really had PCOS. He said no. No way, not ever.
The rest of my pregnancy went as normal. At the beginning of January 09, I was induced, but gave birth to a healthy baby girl 25 hours later.
With Dr. 2's assurance, I had no problem believing that there would be no issues when we would TTC the next time around (we had planned to ttc again when Lovebug was one (jan 10)).

Well, I believed it until there was actually an issue.

I feel for you! We have been TTC for almost a year. We lost 2 baby girls to Turner's Syndrome. It is a long and painful process for some and others just need to say Baby and Boom they are expecting!
Hang in there!
Thank you!
@Sugar Dipes- I'm so sorry for your losses. I hope you get a little blessing soon :)
Thanks me too! We are already blessed to have a gorgeous daughter. But we just want one more! Good Luck to you! I have had 2 d&C and they aren't that bad.
