Hi I am 39 years old and have been trying to conceive for over a year. I have no kids but My DH is 41 and has a 19 yr old. Our journey began in dec 2013 when I decided to go to a RE to get checked out. Found out my tubes were blocked but we didn't know why. In dec and February I had two polypectomys, then had a couple of things come up and we were on our way to start IVF in June and had been on bcp. However on July 2 had a tremendous pain on my right side that I thought was gas and bloating. The nurse, although knew I was in pain thought it was gas too and had me go ahead start fertility shots. I ended up going to my family dr as I thought it was my appendix but low and behold he tells me I'm pregnant and it's probably ectopic. While I had no idea what this was and thought it was impossible I found out it was actually a risk I'd face. My angel baby was taken on 7/8. Now 2 months later I just went through my first full IVF cycle and now in the 2ww so I thought it was time to introduce myself. I am patiently waiting and praying for a bfp.
Thankful for this community.

Welcome and I also am sorry about your loss but glad you found us!
TTC#1 since Aug 2013, I'm 37, DH 41.
Maya Arvigo Abdominal massage (daily self care), plus TTC meditations.
I'm very sensitive to diet (gluten, avoid processed foods) and environment. Have a history of inflammation and tendinitis before going off gluten in 2009.
July 2014 - RE Visit #1: Eggs look good, Endometrioma on R ovary, HSG showed blocked R tube close to ovary. DH SA normal
DX: Endometriosis probably the IF cause and gunking up tubes. Since egg reserve is high, RE says I can wait a couple months and then get laproscopic surgery to remove endo & clear tube. If that doesn't help then move to IVF.
Dec 2014 - Saw new RE - does not recommend surgery on tube as it isn't likely to help. Doubts I have endometriosis. My endometrioma shrunk to neglible size (yay!)
Thank you everyone for the kind words and welcome! I will stay busy and post when I hear. Good luck and prayers to everyone here in this community.

Thank you for all the kind words. Well I received the results from the beta test on Friday and got a BFN. So disappointed, sad and angry all at the same time. All these medications in my body are making me feel crappy but I guess my body will get a rest. The progesterone shots were beginning to hurt. Dr said we could transfer in January.
