in Trouble TTC
So, I just got the call from the nurse:  I've officially been trying for a year with no success.  I suppose that qualifies me to be here, so I wanted to introduce myself.  (Not to mention this keeps me from grabbing ice cream and crying for an hour.).  I'm 33, and as I said, we've been trying for a year, and have been seeking infertility treatment for a couple months now.  It's all still a little new and overwhelming to me.    

Today sucks.

    Thanks everyone - it really is nice to hear from others.  

    So far all I know is that I ovulate very early (day 9-10), was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, and the doctor suspects slight endometriosis.  So far, it's been 2 months of progesterone - Clomid in the morning and suppositories at night, a Lupron shot, and what feels like never ending blood tests and ultrasounds.  
    I travel a lot for work, and the doctor I am seeing is 40 minutes away - it's been a tricky couple of months balancing it all.  I am hoping it will all eventually be worth it. 

    I'll be sure to add a sig.

    I'm glad I'm in wine loving company :)  Really the only upside to this is I get to drink for a couple of weeks.

    Welcome! Sorry you have to be here, but we are a really supportive and tight knit group of women. If you haven't already, I highly recommend reading the newbie blog since you're new to all the IF stuff. Best wishes!

    Welcome, I'm sorry you have to be here but a warm welcome.
    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!
