Newbie saying hi!

in TTC after 35
HI!! I've been lurking on TB for a few weeks, and I was active over on TK (NEY). I had such a great experience over there that when H and decided we were going to start TTC I wanted to find a supportive community. 

So a little bit about me, I'm a criminal defense attorney who recently started my own firm so that I can make my own hours if we are blessed with a LO. My H and I have been married for 5 months but have been together for almost 12 yrs. He's just turned 34 and I will be 35 in May. I just started temping and charting, and taking prenatals, but are waiting till April to start TTC in earnest. (I'd like to have 3 charted cycles under my belt, and a little more $$ in the bank.) 

I look forward to getting to know all of you. I had such a great experience on TK, and after lurking I must say that you ladies seem pretty cool!

    Welcome!
    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....
