TTC after 35

RE Appt results

I went to my first RE appointment on Tuesday last week. I've been swamped at work so I haven't been bumping much lately. Anyway, she is also going to test me for PCOS. Then I have to lose some weight. Once I get to my goal, which won't be too hard, I will have a clomid IUI done. I'm aiming for June. I can shed these pounds, about 25 to be exact, in 2 months.

I'm nervous and excited. Let's hope the weight comes off easy and the time flies!

  • Perfect timing as it's spring and will help motivate you as the sun is out longer to be healthy!
    TTC#1 since Aug 2013, I'm 37, DH 41.  
    Maya Arvigo Abdominal massage (daily self care), plus TTC meditations.
    I'm very sensitive to diet (gluten, avoid processed foods) and environment. Have a history of inflammation and tendinitis before going off gluten in 2009.  
    July 2014 - RE Visit #1: Eggs look good, Endometrioma on R ovary, HSG showed blocked R tube close to ovary. DH SA normal 
    DX: Endometriosis probably the IF cause and gunking up tubes.  Since egg reserve is high, RE says I can wait a couple months and then get laproscopic surgery to remove endo & clear tube.  If that doesn't help then move to IVF. 
    Dec 2014 - Saw new RE - does not recommend surgery on tube as it isn't likely to help.  Doubts I have endometriosis.  My endometrioma shrunk to neglible size (yay!) 
    Seriously considering IVF in March/April
    12/17/14 - Natural BFP!
