Can I Just Say Thanks

in TTC after 35
Ladies,

You are the best.  I realize it more after what happened today.  I ran into a friend at the gym and as we were talking I mentioned that we had started trying for a second.  We have kept this pretty low key and my friend has been trying to have her first baby for over a year so I haven't brought it much in conversations.  After a few months when they first started, I stopped asking if she was pregnant yet and told her I would just wait for her to bring it up.  Later she mentioned they were seeing a doctor and everything seemed okay, just AMA infertility.

Flash forward to today.  I had assumed that OPK, Fertility Friend, BBT, and charting where some of the recommendations from the doctor and that she had been doing them.  Turns out no the doctor never told them that.  I'm not sure what type of doctor the were seeing.  We are meeting next week to talk some more and I hope I can get more information. I actually got to share FF, told her about OPK, and BBT charting.  She was excited and was going to start with FF this weekend.  Being able to do that was thanks to you ladies and all the advice and experiences you have shared over the months I have been here.   If I hadn't been on here, I would be TTC #2 just as blindly.

Happy Weekend!

    Glad you've learned so much and were able to pay it forward.  Did you also tell her about The Bump boards?  She may find it helpful to join us and take part in all our discussions.

    I totally agree I've learned a lot from this board. It's because of you ladies that I started temping & using ff. this board is very informative and therapeutic. I can come here to vent or ask questions w/o being embarrassed. We all have some things in common & one of them is our age. Best of luck to all of us here

    @PrivateOne I was planning to when we meet next week.  It was just in passing at the gym that we saw her so I didn't want to overwhelm her this weekend.

    Oh wow! Great.
    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!) 
    Seriously considering IVF in March/April
    12/17/14 - Natural BFP!
