Hi all. I recognize a few SNs from TTGP, but I haven't been online since October because of work.

I'm Emily, DH (29) and I (28) have been TTC since October 2011 with no success (obviously). We live outside of Baltimore, and have been referred to a fertility clinic at a local hospital. Right now, our diagnosis stands as unexplained infertility - blood work, HSG, SA, and ovaries are all normal

A few normal things about us - we have 2 dogs, both work as teachers, and LOVE the Michigan State Spartans. Looking forward to getting to know you all Cool

    I second that!

    Welcome and Good Luck from another Baltimorean!

     There is a seminar tomorrow in York PA (short hike up north from B'more) being help by Shady Grove Fertility.

    Me:33, Hubby:34 TTC since 2008 Feb08: emergency ruptured Ectopic(surgically removed right tube and ovary) Oct12: Began seeing a Fertility Doctor Dx:Anovulation, Provera to force period, clomid 50mg, Day 12 ultrasound showed no follicles/no ovulation = cancelled IUI. Dec12: Day 3 Antral Follicle Count; ONE, FSH also jumped from 8.4 to 24 (told that cyst on ovary caused the false low FSH from month prior), increased clomid dosage to 150mg. Given prognosis of less than 5% chance of pregnancy. December 2012: One follicle did mature, proceeded with IUI, = BFN Also officially dx DOR January 2013: FSH dropped to 14.6, I still want to keep hope alive, RE office says this does not change prognosis. IUI= BFN Last cycle on Clomid as it has thinned my lining.
