Hello everyone! I've been reading everyone's posts the past couple days and although I'm sorry everyone has to be going through this, I'm glad I found such a great support group! My name is Melissa and I am 25 years old. I will be married 2 years to my husband Pete (30 years old) in June and we have been trying to conceive for about as long as we've been married. My husband had a SA done in November and was told he has a low count and I had a few sonograms done during ovulation at my ob/gyn who said my follicles during the months I had gone were too large. He had recommended seeing a fertility specialist to discuss an IUI. We have finally decided to go make an appt for a consult with a fertility clinic (Long Island IVF). I am very nervous about the upcoming tests/treatments and anxious to hear what they are going to recommend. I look forward to corresponding with all of you and supporting each other in this journey.
