Introduction- I'm New Around Here (LGBT, 37)

MoreTacosPlease

Hi all. New to the board, but I've been a bit of a lurker for the past few months. 

I'm Amy, age 37 and my female partner and I are TTC our first. We're in PA, so we're thrilled that as of last week we can soon be legally married.

I've done three rounds of natural cycle IUI, all BFN, and my RE followed that with HSG to be sure that wasn't the issue. Did my first round of aggressive cycle Clomid, Ovidrel, and progesterone suppositories with IUI this month- TWW ends on Monday, but I started spotting today and expect (while I hope it's not) that this month is a BFN, too. 

Looking forward to being part of this community and having a place to come to support and chat with others. At my age, I didn't want to tell too many people that we're TTC and get their hopes up, in case it doesn't work out, so I'm feeling a bit lonely with just my partner and the RE's nurse line to go to.

Thank you all for sharing your stories (including while I was lurking). It's been a great support to me so far.

Also over on the general TTC board, but since we are using an anon sperm donor, wanted to check in over here. After 6 with no luck, we're planning on trying a new donor unless RE wants to switch us to IVF. Maybe. If we can get financials together for that.

Welcome!  That's exciting you can now get married.  This is a lonely process, but it's nice to have these ladies to talk to.  Good luck!

Welcome! I'm lgbt too, 42 and 27w along with a donor egg/donor sperm baby. We have a weekly check in on Mondays. Meanwhile, I highly suggest an intro on the LGBT board as everyone there uses donor sperm, and there is a TTC checkin on Mondays of many couples right where you are. I pretty much only hang out here and lgbt.

Welcome!! As a fellow PA resident, I was so excited and even more so that Corbett didn't appeal The board here is full of support - sending you support and good vibes. I hope you're not out this cycle!

Thanks all for the warm welcome. Looks like we're moving on to IUI #5 this month... appreciate all of your comments (and will also check out the LGBT boards- thanks for tip!).

Another PA girl here.  Welcome.  We are most likely going to be moving on to Anon DS.   I too am glad Corbett was a total butthole for once in his career.
