Intro (child mentioned)

in TTC after 35
Hi Everyone-
I have been lurking on this board for over a year and thought I would pop in and say hello. 
My story is that I am almost 37 and have been trying to have a second child for a year and a half.  I have a 3 and a half year old son-- I conceived him naturally after trying for 6 months.  I didn't think there would be any issues a second time around, but of course life always throws us curveballs.  I recently went to the doctor for the primary testing and my ovarian reserve and my husband both checked out great, then I went for the HPG-- it showed that I have a blocked left tube and scarring on my uterus (not sure why). So.. now I will be going to a RE in a couple of weeks to seek out other options.  I have been in denial that I would need extra help, but seeing that I am only getting older and obviously it hasn't worked I certainly may need the help.  So, that is my story for now.... I wish us all luck and sorry we are all in the same boat.

I am looking forward to getting to know all of you and I hope to hear some good reports from everyone.

    Welcome.
    It's good that you went for testing. We have a recent grad that had a blocked tube so don't worry too much. The RE will know the best course for you. Good luck.

    Welcome, and good luck to you. Sorry you are having trouble. Interesting about scarring on your uterus. Is it safe to assume you had a c-section with your son?

    Thanks for all the welcomes! Actually, I delivered my son naturally... the scarring is a mystery, although my doctor said sometimes we can get scarring from infections that were untreated. He said a lot of times we don't notice an infection and when it goes without medical attention it can leave scarring. It could also be trauma from my last pregnancy.
