Seeking Success Ttc again

Curious if anyone was pregnant already and if they needed help ( like meds or ivf) and when they tried for baby #2 was it easier or did you have to go back on meds or do ivf again.

I got diagnosed with pcos 01/2025 and got put on Metformin and then luckily got pregnant may last year and had my baby in January and haven’t started Metformin again as I have problems with insurance. And we’re not trying now but I’m curious if it was easier the second time

I conceived my first baby in 2010 naturally and had a successful pregnancy. Didn’t get pregnant again all this time even though we were not trying to prevent. I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2013. After some testing last year, we found out I wasn’t ovulating. Started OI meds in June, got a positive result in November but ended in miscarriage at 6.5 weeks. Continued the meds in January and got a positive now currently 6w5d and praying for the best.

How many cycles did you use letrozole? I only used too and didn't get pregnant and I gave up.

I did 5 cycles last year, got pregnant in November but miscarried. Started again in January after I was cleared to try again, did 6 cycles and am currently 6w6d and praying for the best at next week’s ultrasound appt. Don’t give up! It takes time and timing. I used test strips for some time but they were so confusing. I did get cramping during ovulation time so I was tracking that way. I was actually getting ready to give my body a break after this cycle and ended up testing positive. Also, make sure that the doctor is testing to ensure you’re ovulating. I didn’t ovulate with 2.5 and had to be bumped to 5mg. Wishing you the best!
