Finally out of denial

Rorr2Rorr2 member
in TTC after 35

Hi everyone, hoping to join the discussions! 

I have been lurking for a few months and now that I am out of denial figured I would join in the chats. DH and I have been TTC #1 since June 2010. I justed turned 38 and he is 34.  I was trying to deny that we were headed down the road of needing help, but after AF arrived two weeks ago my OB said "I think it's time to call the specialist" I had to face the facts.  We were all natural until January when we did our first round of clomid. I was concerned because he just gave me the script and said call me when you know what happens this cycle. This also happened in February. No blood work or monitoring at all. So I had already made the appointment with the RE just in case. Glad I did. He is wasting no time.  Since my OB already  had me on clomid for this cycle, we are planning our first IUI, which should happen in the next few days.

 My husband has been a trooper through all of this, but I think it will be nice to have all of you to share this journey with.

 thanks
