TTC After a Loss 6 Months+

Can I Play With You Gals?

Hi.
I'm Lainie. I started lurking here in January, and I think I started posting in March or so. I've wanted to intro for a while, but haven't wanted to be the a$shat who intros and then leaves three weeks later.
Since that doesn't look like it's going to happen, here's a brief history:
We started TTC in February 2010.
We knew DH had a bad case of varicocele, but DH's doctor refused to refer him for an SA till we'd been trying for a year. We finally got that done, and his count and motility were really low. He had surgery in April 2011.
A month later, I had to have a disc removed from my spine, which put us on the bench for several months while I recovered.
Our loss was in January. I didn't even know I was pregnant until I'd already been bleeding for twelve days (my CBEFM kept giving me 'peak' readings. I finally used an HPT on the third day).
We saw the RE while I was still miscarrying. I was diagnosed with PCOS at that visit, but the RE was confident that a couple of clomid cycles would do the trick.
They didn't.
We did several clomid+TI cycles, a clomid+IUI cycle, and two femara+IUI cycles.At this point, we were concerned that there was more going on. I had a lap/hysteroscopy at the end of October. During the lap, he found endometriosis, and I also had two cysts blocking my right tube, and a polyp that was all but blocking my cervix.
Now that all of that is cleaned out, we're trying on our own until we've got our finances back in order.
So, ladies, will you have me?
Also, I brought treats.

No rods... At least not right now. The disc they removed was at L5/S1, and apparently that area is stable enough to not need support.
The specialist talked about putting in an artificial disc, but I wasn't a good candidate for that because I was under 25 when I had surgery, and I would have to have it replaced at least twice.
Now we're kind of hoping the vertebra fuse on their own.
That's exactly what they are. I have the recipe pinned, but haven't made them yet.
4 Losses (2003, 2008, Apr 2012, & Oct 2012)
