Newbie intro

in Trouble TTC
Hello! I have been on the bump for over a year now... I didn't post much but when I did it was in TTGP. I'm a teacher, so I'll begin to have a little more time to visit here. I've lurked in 3T here and there since Dec. that was our year mark of TTC. My cycles are pretty regular. I have an average number of follicles each cycle. I had an HSC in Jan and had a pretty large polyp removed. Still no luck since then. Anyway, I hope to learn more from you ladies. My hubby and I aren't sure how much longer we're going try before we go back to the RE and we aren't really sure what the next step is. :)

    Welcome!!  The RE is the best "next step". Sometimes it can take a month or two just to get into the RE.  So make the appointment and keep trying.  They will be able to get the answers that you need and get you in the right direction. 
    I am 37 and DH is 40
    10/2012 Start TTC
    09/2013 Finally got to see the RE 12/2013 HSG-both tubes clear
    01/2014 Large Cyst Removed along with right ovary and tube
    04/2014 2nd HSG-Remaining tube damaged/blocked
    05/2014 Testing cycle and BCP to prep for IVF
    06/2014 IVF cycle #1 is scheduled cancelled due to low estrogen
    07/2014 Started Estrace to help with my estrogen issues
    08/2014 IVF cycle #2 is scheduled delayed
    09/2014 IVF cycle #2 is scheduled failed- 6 follicles, 1 retrieved, 0 fertilized
    10/2014 WTF scheduled for 10/22 and second opinion scheduled for 10/10
    11/2014 Moving on to the new RE!  
    01/2015 IVF cycle #3 is scheduled delayed
    02/2015 IVF cycle #3 is scheduled

    Welcome! Sorry you find yourself here but there are a lot of great ladies to help with support and questions if you need them. It's a great community :) Best of luck!

    Trying to have baby #1 since April 2013

    DH SA March,May 2014 - Low motility and shape issues. On vitamins per RE to help

    Me testing April 3, 2014 - FSH and LH good, HSG showed blocked right tube

    April 29, 2014 - First RE appt., right tube needs to be removed and possibly left also if

    it's bad too. RE suggests going straight to IVF

    June 4, 2014 - LAP/HSC and unexpected endo. removed but tubes got to stay!

    June 13, 2014 - Post-Op appointment. We decide where to go next since main issue

    is MFI influenced. Trying naturally until decision... Repeat SA  in September. Aiming for IUI #1 November 2014.

    Welcome!! Hope it will be a short stay for you!

    I would recommend getting the ball rolling with the RE and just figuring out the steps. It took us about 3 months or so to figure that out, so it doesn't hurt to meet with them and come up with a game plan.

    Me: 29, DH: 30

    Married: April, 2011; TTC: July, 2012

    Dx: MFI; June '14 IVF w/ ICSI: 11R, 8M, 5F... 1 5dt, beta #1: 213, beta #2: 621, beta #3: 8545!

    Welcome!  I agree with PPs that you should get the ball rolling with an RE.  It took me 3 months to get all of my testing completed and start my first medicated cycle.  I got into the RE quickly but I found out I needed to see an endocrinologist and had to wait a month for that appt.  Since you're a teacher the summer will be a perfect time to get things rolling!

    Welcome!  I agree with everyone else... if you're at your year mark, it's time to see an RE.  Hopefully they'll come up with a great plan and your stay will be short!

    Welcome! Glad you were able to take care of that polyp. Good luck with your next steps - you may find that seeing an RE is a relief. :)
