Lurker with a (re) introduction

superned

I was on this board for over a year, I think, after it very first started.  DH and I have been TTC since November 2005.

Our diagnosis is me with stage II endo (had a lap in May 07) and high FSH (10.2 in 07, now 11.1); DH's SAs have all been normal.  We've had two losses.  The first was in April 08 - I had an ectopic abdominal pregnancy, which is a very rare complication where the embryo actually implanted on my bladder.  That ended up being a good thing though, because both of my tubes were spared. 

The second was an early m/c (5w5d) in June this year.  Both BFPs were using only acupuncture, with the more recent m/c I was taking herbs as well.

We've done Clomid/IUIs (in 07), but we took a long break after the ectopic.  During that time, my RE's practice closed, and she was the only game in town, so now we're back with my ob/gyn.  This month I took 100mg Clomid (no IUI this time) for the first time in almost two years, so we're officially back on the TTTC train.

I don't have too much to contribute with information treatment-wise, since we've taken a pretty low-tech approach (so far), but I have learned A LOT from this board.  I have more to say, I think, regarding the emotional aspects of TTTC...I've been at this a long time, and think I've come a LONG way with dealing with everything.  I've been to all of those dark places, believe me, but now, even without a baby, I'm in a much better place.  We're still trying though, so I think I still belong here...?

Of course you still belong here! (I wish you didn't though.) Welcome back! I wish you the best of luck with your Clomid cycle!

of course you belong here! Although I'm sad to see that you are still on this journey, welcome back. I'm so sorry for your losses, but wish you all the best for what's ahead.

((((hugs))))

I'm sorry you have to come back here, but I wish you the best and hope this can be a place of support.

I'm sorry to hear that it's been such a long road for you.  I really hope that it will near it's end soon.  My condolences on your losses too.  Sharing experiences on the emotional part would be great. I think that is the worst part, by far.  Good luck to you.
