Had my preconception appointment

lgsdesignerlgsdesigner member
edited July 2014 in TTC after 35
I had my preconception appointment with my OB yesterday. She said everything looks good, health-wise! I also asked her about a possibility of a VBAC (if I get pg), and she said she is willing to allow me to try, but there are no guarantees of success since I had an emergency c/s with my son, and a doctor's recommended planned c/s with my daughter. 
She did, however, say that now that I've gained 18lbs of muscle and do squats regularly, that my chances of succeeding with a VBAC are definitely heightened. 

I guess I will worry about getting pregnant first, and then go from there. lol

This is my last cycle preventing, ladies. So close and really excited! Looks like I will ovulate on/around my wedding day if my cycle stays regulated. :)

    That's great news! Good luck - here's hoping for a lucky wedding night.
    Me: 38 DH: 40 TTC#1 (and likely only) since 9/13. Saw RE 5/14, SA good, AMH 2.36, FSH 7.2, estradiol 69.6 indicating good egg reserve. Using OPKs. First Letrozole cycle 6/14, a burst cyst and a BFN. Second Letrozole cycle 7/14, BFN. 

    Update 11/14 - had laparoscopy 10/28, good news is that my uterus and left tube look good, and they were able to drain the cyst on my left ovary. Bad news is that right tube and ovary have endo and scar tissue, so they're pretty useless.. Best news is that we finally have some answers and a path forward. Taking 7.5 mg letrozole CD 2-6 to put that good left ovary through its paces. 

    UPDATE 2/2015 - We switched to another fertility clinic, but fortunately we don't have to start all over. We're doing two cycles of Clomid plus IUI, if neither of those take, we'll do IVF in April, potentially with ICSI. (DH's SA has gone downhill, likely due to excessive exercise.) IUI#1 2/25/15....

    @Austrogermokee- Thank you! We shall see... 
    Also-- I am eager to post in the weekly check-ups on this board. I can't really post there until we are trying, so in a few weeks, I can. :)
