Hi! I was hoping I could maybe join you! I've been posting on TTGP and everyone is really great there, but I'm not really posting in W2O and 2WW threads since I'm not really having cycles so I thought I might fit in over here too.
I'm on my 11th month TTC but (you can see in sig) I haven't ovulated since December. I recently was able to get a cancellation appointment at an RE and went last week. Although I am sad that I had to go at all I was glad it was a couple months earlier since we can't even really TTC if I'm not ovulating. The doctors seem really nice and were very sensitive (while I started crying during the blood draw!). I have my HSG this week and I'm very nervous. How was it for you?
I'm a teacher, and my DH and I have two cats. I like to read, scrapbook, shop, and visit with friends. I wish none of us had to be here in TTTC, but I hope to be able to be a supportive member of this community. I look forward to getting to know you all!
edit: put the wrong name for the HSG test, oops!

@Tiko99 I will update after the appt Thursday!
@rella22 I'll try to be calm, I tend to get nervous at doctor appts. Once, I had to wait until my bp lowered before they would let me leave (I think I was there for strep!)
@rainbowbridge14 I just finished my grad work! Hope you are liking it so far!
@masterofallcheese I'm glad I decided to see the RE too; back in March when I went to my OB for Provera she wanted to give me clomid too! I knew from lurking that was a bad idea. I waited a couple months after the Provera, hoping it would "reset" things but in May I figured I should make the RE appt. I hope to get a 2ww soon!

~~ALL WELCOME~~
@LindseyM2012 I'm glad too, my appt was scheduled for 7-30 but they called with a last minute cancellation and I took it! It is nice not to feel alone!
@CarSaidYes Hope you enjoy your summer too! I'm hoping this would be a good time to have appointments so I don't have to miss too much school in the fall. Good luck with your IUI!
@BunnyBerry That is neat they can do it that way!
Lol at the being prodded! I think I was just emotional that I really have to go through this, it's not exactly how I pictured getting pregnant would work.Good luck to you too!
@emilee871 Thanks! I'd love to get another cat but ours are quite exhausting! I don't think I could handle another, haha!
I love all the kitty lovers here! (and dog lovers too, i like all animals!)
I had the same issues with being anovulatory, due to PCOS, and tried Provera for a long time, too. While the HSG may not be particularly fun, it was the first step in finally getting on the right track with treatment. I hope that it goes well for you, and that you can get started on a new plan to get things rolling!

PAIF/SAIF Welcome.
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.
