Intro...new to all of this

Hello Ladies...

I've been a lurker here for awhile and am posting now because I'd love some support from women who understand!  My DH and I are both 31 and have been married for 3 years.  We have been TTC for about 1.5 yrs.  Just about 2 weeks ago we saw the RE for the first time.  Since then we've found out that DH's count and morphology are low, my AMH is low (1.1), I have a large uterine fibroid, and HSG showed only one open tube - possibly due to endometriosis.  The plan right now is for me to start lupron in the next two weeks in an attempt to shrink the fibroid over the next 3 months and then try IUI.  We were basically told there is a small chance the IUI will be successful, mainly due to DH's count/morphology, but it's worth a shot!  It seems like everything is against us right now but we have a great RE and we're trying to stay hopeful.  

I look forward to meeting everyone!

Hi, hbishop! Welcome to the crowd! Couldn't leave your post unanswered as know perfectly well how draining the process is myself. Some time ago we passed DE ivf in Ukraine. I was diagnosed on endo & pcos, dh - absolutely ok. The only problem was in me and that made me cry every other day. Besides my issues brought me constant pains. Finally after all the testing for both done our RE gave us less than 5% verdict of conceiving with own eggs. He suggested looking onto egg donation. You know both factors must be vital for success - embryo quality and environment it is placed into. We had 3 shots. Each time 2 nice healthy 5-day blasts were placed but because of that environment issues we got BFNs twice I thought miracle won't happen to us and I would blame myself every day and wish my dh wouldn't have married me at all. How insane I was! Poor thing is every girl blaming herself.
Thankfully our nightmare ended with the 3rd shot, which was quite unexpected.  I think the moment we almost loose all our hope and are knocked down with the events but still are crawling to the aim God finally blesses us...
I'm wishing your stay here is short and smooth. Let your dream come true soon, hun. Hugs

@hbishop621 welcome! I'm sorry for what you're going through, but it's great that you like your RE and are making a plan! I know when we starting seeing a doc we liked that made all the difference in how we felt about the process. Hope your stay here is short!!
