Hello everyone! I'm new to the boards and just wanted to drop in a say hi to everyone. I'm 36 and really hoping that my insurance stuff will get straightened out soon so I can start making my dr. appts. I did have a few appts. about 8 years ago for this, but the woman I saw turned out to be the worse dr. in the world and did nothing except piss me off. After she took a bunch of blood, ran a zillion tests, including two ultrasounds (such a lovely way to start the day!), and tests on my hubby she basically said, well we can't find anything here's a referral after specifically told me that until we got to more "complicated" options she would be able to help me. (Maybe I'm still a little cranky about her, but seriously!) Before I had a chance to get over it and find someone else things happened in my life that basically put all of those plans on hold.
Since I'm waiting in insurance purgatory right now I'm doing all the research that I can. I've started charting out things, taking my temp, and all that fun stuff.
Hopefully it'll help move the process along a little quicker
I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone here and learning a lot from all you! Thanks for having me!

Baby N conceived after 1 miscarriage and more than 2 years of TTC. Diagnosis was low sperm count. We found success after 3 months of anastrozole to increase DH's testosterone and one IUI.
