TTC Newbie

in TTC after 35

Hi All,

I'm new to thebump.com and to this message board!  My DH and I are TTC #2 and have come across some "issues".  Although all of my hormone levels look great and my husband's SA was spot on I had an HSG and it looks like my left ovary is riddled with scar tissue from my the c-section I had with my DD (now almost 5).

We are starting my first IUI cycle this month and we are cautiously optimistic, but can't help but be super excited!  We love our fertility specialist and have tremendous faith in him and his staff. 

We just recently moved to KS for DH shore duty, he's in the NAVY and have a 2 year break and are praying it happens soon.

Just wanted to say "Hi" and I'm looking forward to sharing stories, offering support, and learning.  My first question...what do all the abbreviations in your signatures stand for?  I can figure some out...but others...not so much!

Have a great weekend, everyone!

    Welcome to the board.  I too am new here and spend most of my time lurking but certainly appreciate the level of support and positive energy that everyone seems to provide.  Sorry, I cannot answer your question regarding the abbreviations and best of luck to you.

    Hi and welcome!

    As an aside from TTC, my dad was on a sub for 9 years(before I was born), so I've got a bit of a soft spot for submariners and their SO's. Big Smile

    HI there! I am new too :) I guess I should introduce myself on the boards as well.  Good luck in your journey! I am starting my very first IVF cycle this month (mid month) and if all goes well will hopefully be BFP in early Nov.  I am nervous as a cat on a roof!
