Hey there: Introducing myself

Hey everyone! I'm new in town. 
I'm 30, and so is DH. 
We are diagnosed as unexplained, although I have some cycle irregularity and short LP. Up to this point I had just stuck to Femara and trigger shots, but now we're moving forward with ART. So, our first step will be IUI #1 in April. This month we are just finishing some extra lab work and I've scheduled the notorious HSG. It's still a bit overwhelming to me, and it's been emotionally tough, but I'm glad to have a clearer path forward. Looking forward to getting to know and support all of you as well.

    Welcome @omarismyhomeboy. Sorry you have to be here, but know that the ladies and gents on this board are crazy supportive of each other. I also have been a bit overwhelmed with everything and have definitely felt the love and support from everyone on here... Even in posts to each other where I am simply lurking in order to learn more about what to expect. Hopefully you won't be here long!
