CD1, again. I am trying to be positive, but here we are at month 9 (Short cycles, so cycle 11) and I am beginning to think it will never happen. I have charted, OPKs last month, HSG, CD3 bloodwork... Ugh! How long do I have to wait? My OB in Feb. just said happy trying when everything came back clear. Am I going to have to wait until my yearly in Aug. when it is almost a year trying to discuss the topic again? I mean we know I have issues (endo, one ovary/tube). I really want it to happen naturally, but am getting depressed about the whole thing! Just needed to vent. Thanks!

FET - 4/19 (3 transferred), Beta 4/28 = BFP, EDD 1/4/12
I know...CD does suck. I would think that your OB would refer you to and RE seeing as you do have only one tube/ovary, etc. And you have technically been trying for a while.
Like I've always told everyone I was diagnosed early b/c I just knew something wasn't right and went to my doctor. If your doctor isn't ready I recomend a 2nd opinion or if insurance allows go directly to an RE. If you are doing everything right, like Taking Charge of Your Feritlity says this indicates there is a problem and you don't need to wait a year.

I am sorry to hear your OB wasn't very helpful. This gives me bad feelings that I may not get the kind of help I am looking for at my appt. in two weeks. I have endo too. Stupid endo!
