TTC- any advice would be appriciated too. also we are from South Jersey if anyone else is.

TinyTolly

Hello everyone,

I am new to the concept of discussions here on the bump. I am a 29 year old and my husband is 33. We have been married 5 years and TTC on and off for over 2 years. I am having all kinds of female issues. On top of having a condition called vulvodynia I also have the following: Low Hormone counts in my Blood work, lack of estrogen and I have also not had a period/or ovulated in 2+ years. We were working with some Dr. out of Philadelphia who are amazing (thus how we found out all the above issues already) now they are sending me to a more local Fertility Dr. in South Jersey. We have out first appt in 2 weeks and I am really nervous. I have been taking my Basil Temp. every morning and also have been taking an ovulation test EVERYDAY and its NEVER positive. Which can be very disappointing and frustrating. I never really worried about getting prego throughout all this but I have to say its starting to make me a little nervous now. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also This is a silly question but if someone responds will I get an email so I know or do I have to keep checking the board? Thanks so much. and look forward to talking with you ladies on here.

OH I am sorry I must have posted this in the wrong place. I am sorry. IVF could possible be one of our options but I will not know more until We have our appt. I will check out the board you have listed above. thank you so much I really appreciate it.

@tinytolly I live in south jersey as well. All the ladies on the board that are from this area go to R.M.A of NJ in Eatontown. I would highly recommend making an appointment with them as you go through these first steps with an RE.

That's some really good advice from @baby_blessings

I also wanted to say "Hi" from Jersey.  I consider myself to be in Central Jersey (Monmouth County), but I've learned that North Jersey vs. South Jersey is all about your perspective.  (I've been told that I live in both - which is why I stick with "central.")

I go to IVF NJ, which I like.  They have a number of offices, including one in Hamilton, but I believe all of the OR procedures take place at their Somerset office.

... But, in case you're interested, here's link to the IVF NJ web page that lists office locations: https://www.ivfnj.com/contact/#otherLocations

I'm an R.M.A NJ girl too but I go to the Morristown office.  I haven't had success yet but I'm very hopeful working with them.

Siggy warning!

This x 2. I went to the Eatontown office and had a great experience. I am pregnant with Twins after my first FET. They are the best fertility clinic in NJ. I am in South Jersey and started out at S. J Fert.ility. (Did 3 unsuccessful iui/clomid cycles.). When IVF was recommended I moved on to R.M.A since they have excellent stats for IVF. GL!

I'm also from South Jersey.  I go to see Dr Jewel Amui out of Marlton, NJ and absolutely love her.  She is the first fertility/gyno I have had who sits down with you and takes as much time as is needed to answer any questions, go over all treatment options and explains everything in a compassionate and professional manner. I could tell after just my first visit that she genuinely cares about every single patient, it is nice to feel like I am more than just another chart on her desk.

Hey ladies. I asked around alot before we made out appt. I have not heard of the ones listed above but I will keep them in mind. We were recomended to Dr. Louis Manara. Has anyone heard of him and or used him? I have herded wonderful things.

TinyTolly

ps. he is in south Jersey Voorhees area.

@TinyTolly I called Dr. Manara's office for a second opinion and if I can join them. I live in central jersey so getting to his office was like an hour to hour an half drive. The receptioned asked me where I live. And when I told her in central jersey. She was polite and said to look for a clinic closer to my house and recommended rma nj. That showed me they r not working to make money but think of patient first. If she wanted she could of scheduled my appt and have me travel every few days for testing during cycling.

TinyTolly

@fjamil1 That is so great to hear about them. I heard very good things and after hearing what you wrote I am very happy with out choice to see Dr. Manara. Please let me know how you make out at your Dr. as well. Best of luck!!!!
