in Trouble TTC
Hello Ladies!
I posted on TTGP yesterday that I just made my first appointment with an RE after trying for almost 2 years. I've been terrified of making that appointment. I've had the same fear of posting here on T-TTC. Not because of you ladies! I've just been avoiding admitting that we're having trouble, and we do need help. I got a lot of great advice and support after posting yesterday, so here I am. I hope I can be as helpful!
For those that don't know me or my story: I'm 32 (almost 33), DH is 37, and we've been TTC since August 2011. I was diagnosed with PCOS in March 2012 and went on metformin. I had several long, anovulatory cycles, but according to my charts I've been ovulating since October. I'm overweight, but I've been working on making healthier choices and I've lost 14lbs in the last 6 weeks! My weight and issues with it have been a big part of why I didn't contact an RE earlier.
I'm not excited to be having trouble, but I am excited about moving forward and hopefully coming up with a plan soon!

Thanks everyone! I'm starting to feel really pumped. Look at me, getting ready to accomplish something!
Funny side note - I mentioned to my mom that I had contacted a fertility doctor and she said, "Yay, now I can imagine you having a baby without acknowledging that you're having sex!"
