It has been 4 months since my last post

So in the past four months, what has been happening??  A whole lot of nothing.  I had my RE appointment.  And then a battery of tests.  During this time we have been told I am positive for MTHFR double gene mutation.  Which means I am heterozygous MTHFR?  I think.  My C677 and A1298 genes are the ones affected.  I also found out that I have low progesterone.  My eggs are fine for somebody my age.  They tested my prolactin level and thought I had a pituitary tumor.  So had an MRI.  It was negative.  No tumor.  But my slightly elevated prolactin level is being treated even though I had no symptoms what so ever.  My level was 28 normal high is 18.  So I'm taking Dostinex 0.5mg 2 times a week.  I'm on Metformin 3 times a day at a max dose of 1500mg a day.  I take Folgard 2.2 mg x 2 and Prenatal Vitamin with DHA x1.  After ovulation I must take baby aspirin and progesterone.  We were given the okay to try for a baby this past month.  And we failed.  No pregnancy.  We have never tried and not gotten pregnant so I'm freaked out.  Now I can't get pregnant and can't carry a baby.  Anyway, my period only last 2 days and spotted off and on for 3.  So they want me to come in and do a blood HCG.  I know I'm not pregnant.  I'm concerned I have cysts though.  Anyway just rambling.  I am going to try to keep this updated a bit more now that we are TTC.
