Pardon me while I de-lurk.

Hi ladies. I hope you have room for one more. I'm not comfortable discussing my lack of fertility with my friends and family, so I've been dealing with it on my own (except for DH, of course).
We've been TTC since June 08. The attempts were admittedly halfhearted at first (I wasn't tracking ovulation), but several medical issues intervened, and here I am.
I have a blocked tube, and *maybe* PCOS. Unfortunately, the Canadian medical system has not been my friend. I was hospitalized in Dec 08 for severe pain and cramping, was told that I had an ectopic pregnancy, was told I DIDN'T have an ectopic pregnancy, and referred to a specialist. It took 6 days less a year to be able to see the specialist.
I'm waiting for my appointment so I can book a date for laparoscopy. Hopefully then, the specialist will finally reveal my DH's sperm analysis results. We have been left hanging for months, and I'm going crazy not being able to talk about it. I had an appointment last week, but upon arriving, I was informed it had been cancelled.
I know that my struggle hasn't been heartbreaking. It's simply frustrating. I'm so tired of waiting, and I'd just like some answers.
One more thing: I currently know 15 pregnant girls, and while I'd like to think I don't resent them, it's been hard seeing all of the baby bump albums.
I've probably been on The Bump longer than you have.

Thanks for the warm welcome!
Sadly, there's a doctor shortage in my city. The waiting lists are months long. Once you're in with the fertility specialist, you're seen fairly regularly. It took me a year to see him, but I'm in now.

Good luck...I hope you get some answers sooner than later.
Hi and welcome
I cannot imagine how frustrated you must be at this point! Sometimes I thing the waiting to start treatments or between cycles is harder than actually cycling. I really hope you get some answers soon hon.
GL!

I'm so sorry to hear about your long wait. That must be very frustrating!
Welcome, GL and I hope your stay is short!
Hi! I also de-lurked today and want to wish you good luck.
All of the waiting involved in IF just about kills me. I hope you don't have to wait much longer for some answers. And I completely understand your feelings about the pregnant people surrounding you. My sister is currently 28 weeks pregnant and often I just avoid her all together (along with the multiple other pregnant people in my life). It makes me sad that I've become so jealous and bitter- one day I don't want to cringe when I see an ultrasound pic or baby bump.
Thank you so much to everyone for the warm welcome.
I'll definitely be around tomorrow to get to know everyone.
