Newbie intro Loss mentioned

Hello, I'm Tippa! I will be 37 in a few short weeks, DH is 40. We are...correction: I am trying for our 1st, he is just having a lot of "fun" maneuvering through the process! He doesn't put any pressure on me and he has that childlike faith. Whenever we talk about having a baby, his response is the same, " it will happen, when it happens." While I do appreciate him not putting any pressure on me, I need a different kind of encouragement. I see that this group is very informed and supportive and I need that right now. I am looking forward to offering my encouragement and support, as well. I haven't got my signature line down yet so here are my stats: MC in 2002, blighted ovum, DNC Married 2010, TTC 1yr, PCOS diagnosis 10/2014 by OBGYN 10/15 progestrone to start AF 10/2014 1st round clomid, didn't ovulate, Will start Femara 1/2015 See you soon! -Tippa

    Welcome to the board and sorry for your loss.
    Are you seeing an OBGYN or RE.
    I would hope and pray that if you are doing medicated cycles that you are seeing an RE. You need to be closely monitored while taking them and OB's do not monitor you like RE's do. They can do more harm than good sometimes.

    Welcome!  I am sorry for the losses you have experienced.

    My dh was a lot like yours and I too found it both gentle and reaffirming and yet aggravating too!  I wish you success!

    Welcome and I am sorry for your loss. I hope that things work out for you soon!

    And I echo what Hooligans4 said about seeing an RE instead of a normal OB while on that medication. 
    I am not sure how to say this without getting a "solicitation" warning so I guess I just say that I am not longer active on THIS site.

    Welcome!  My DH started out like yours but I has swung around a bit in recent days.  Good LUCK!
    me:41   dh:43 
    Off Mirena Nov 2013, On Nuvaring end of Jan, Back off Sept 2014.  Never ending cycle starting end of Sept... 
    11/14 Provera failed... cycle continues 
    12/14 High FSH (57 "midcycle")  OBGYN had no clue... about anything 
    01/15 More lab results coming back from RE. U/S showed small (1")cyst on left ovary, thin lining, and couldn't locate right ovary so  possibly straight to DE and IVF 

    Occassionally mess with the chart below to see "what if" and learn (not to make it pretty but because FF stays drunk with me).

    MH is similar, it's nice until I'm trying to simultaneously not freak him out with too much info but also trying to make it clear we need to get it on. Right. Now. Ha!

    Thanks so much for the welcome! It's feeling nice and cozy in here already! :-) And I'm seeing an OBGYN right now. ...looks like I need to do some research on REs.
  • Options
    Yes, it's so funny because I feel the EXACT same way: I don't want to overwhelm him with info. I hope that you get a BFP nice and soon!
