Hello,
I just intro'd on the TTTC board. That's a different board right? They feel very similar. I guess I belong in both haha
I'm a "transfer" from the TTGP board (although I haven't posted there in several months). I'm in my 15th cycle TTC. I'm 31 and my husband is 35.
I just started working with the infertility clinic in my area. I haven't met with the fertility specialist yet but I've had some blood work done and had an HSG a few days ago (pain free, yay!). The doctor who performed the HSG said there weren't any blockages but I haven't gotten the "official" results yet. My husband still needs to do a semen analysis. We're going to wait until my next period for him to do it though (on the off chance that the HSG cleared something out and this is our month and because he'll use any excuse to put off doing it haha).
Part of me is happy that we're working with a fertility clinic now and part of me is seriously bummed that it came to this. But working with a fertility specialist is taking a step in the right direction if there is a problem, and fortunately our insurance will cover 50% of the cost.
So here's to starting a new leg of the TTC journey!
