Hi Ladies! I'd like to introduce myself to TTTC. Here's my background.
My husband and I have been TTC #1 since February 2012. I'm 23 and my husband is 26. I work as a Licensed Veterinary Technician and my husband is a resident physician. I had a feeling that it wouldn't happen right away, but my husband was convinced it'd take 6 months maximum. All of my friends that have kids advice was "Relax".. "You're young".. etc.
This February I decided it was time to seek out some help from my OB. My periods are every 26-28 days, but I spot anywhere from 7dpo-10dpo leading up to the start of my period (usually 12-14 day luteal phase). This concerned my OB and she wanted to run bloodwork to make sure my hormones were alright. My CD3 bloodwork came back normal, but my AMH (at age 23) is 1.8. My 7dpo progesterone was also normal at 12.5. DH's SA was good. She wanted to send me straight to an RE.
I'm currently waiting for my first RE appointment on the 12th of April. Just thought I'd introduce myself. Around here, I don't have many people I can talk to about IF. (Hopefully my siggy showed up, I will keep working on it if it hasn't).
