Dirty Lurker comes out of hiding...

in Trouble TTC

Hi Gals!

I figured it was time for me to introduce myself. I have lurked from time to time, but now that DH and I are headed to a specialist I thought I'd introduce myself so you won't think, "who the fluck is this??!" when I ask stupid questions.

Im 26, DH is 27. We've been married since 10.1.11 which is when I also came off of birth control following our amazing honeymoon. At first we took a "relaxed" approach...not trying, not preventing. Soon after we started paying a little more attention...then to charting, opk's, ect...18 months later, here we are.

My CD 3 Bloodwork was normal, 7 DPO progesterone was low at 6.63 (my OBGYN said it didnt matter), HSG was all clear, and DH's SA was beyond perfection. Today we got the SA results, and I asked if she would consider giving me a Progesterone suppository to help with my level and my short LP (9-11 days)...she said No, but then offered me unmonitored Clomid. I declined.

Now we are waiting until May to see a specialist. Any suggestions on what I should be prepared for at the RE's office?

    Hi welcome to 3T. I recognize you from TTGP. Glad you turned down the unmonitored clomid.

    At the REs office expect an exam, vag cam date maybe, probably more labs, lots and lots of paperwork, and hopefully a plan will be laid out for you since y

    For my consult with my current RE, I had to fill out and mail back all of our patient history forms before our appointment.  During the appointment we talked about all of my testing I had done with my OB/GYN, had a date with the vag cam, talked ab

    I searched the offices website and they are very detailed in how things will go. Do, that's nice. I'm ready for a pl
