Hello. I am new to getting help with having a baby but my DH and I have been trying for almost three years now. I feel so behind but I never thought we would be able to afford fertility treatments. Now that I'm in my career we are able to explore this but it feels so overwhelming!
We went to our first meeting on the 16th but it was too late in my cycle to do anything other than take a boatload of blood and a baseline US. My doctor did say that my uterus and ovaries look "really good" which made me happy. He could also see that I was getting ready to ovulate that weekend (between the 18th and the 22nd). My DH and I BD'd every other day the whole weekend and now I am waiting to see if it worked. I am really doubting though since I have all the symptoms of an impending period. Also I used an OPK the whole weekend and never got a positive. I'm not sure if i did it right though.
I don't mind the disappointment from this cycle though since once AF starts we can move forward. Doc says the next steps are a HSG and an hysteroscopy. Also, we'll get my DH in for a sperm test. I'm anxious to get started.
It feels good to just talk about everything. I feel like my husband and sister are tired of hearing me obsess over it.
