About us:  no pets, lots of houseplants!  I play tennis for fun and for exercise.  We garden in the summer although it’s not usually that successful!  

I’m very excited to have found this active and supportive community!

I manage a golf course and country club. We love camping and being outdoors and lots of reading and Grey's Anatomy and movies. 

I've been hanging out in TTCAL for a month or so, and thought it was time to intro and join in here.

Hey, I’m back over here.

TW**
This is our second loss. Previously I was diagnosed with chronic endometritis, so not sure if that is part of the cause. 
Plan is to try to meet with our RE that helped with our previous success.

@ramzlau ugh, I'm so sorry for your loss, girl. Sounds like you and I went through just about the same thing within a week of each other I'm here if you need someone to talk to  

ETA - What processes did you go through with your RE last time?

kpearse99

@modoodles sounds like you have your hands full!!! MH is a BIG golfer and we belong to a country club, DS loves going there and does a Jr. golf program there too. So cool that you run and manage one!

@ellieemc26 I started taking up tennis this summer for fun - so far I really like it!

@ramzlau I am so sorry to see you back here. Please reach out if you need an ear. I’ve been there, too, and it sucks.

@ramzlau I am so sorry for you loss

@kpearse99 It was a lot of little things to focus on improving egg quality and reducing inflammation. 2 weeks of antibiotics, cabergoline (elevated prolactin), synthroid (elevated thyroid levels), ovidrel, progesterone, vitamin d, baby aspirin, folate, coQ10, IUI. The endo biopsy was so painful, but worth it to get a dx. 

Thank you everyone for the sympathy and well wishes!
