Intro and Hello

beckermo4beckermo4 member
in Trouble TTC
Hi there.

I have been lurking a while, but finally decided to go ahead and introduce myself around here. I am 36 (as of yesterday, ugh) and the hubs is 34. Been TTC for far too long (almost 2 years now) and finally had to admit that we may actually have a problem and may need a some help getting pregnant. Saw an RE for the first time 2-3 months ago and it looks like I am not ovulating regularly. (Discovered bc my pap came back abnormal and an endometrial biopsy -fun!-  revealed an out of phase lining.) Also found a 3-4mm cyst on one of my ovaries so waiting to see what happens there before starting Clomid. Appointment tomorrow for a CD3 sonogram to determine if we can start the baby drugs this month or not. Fortunately DH and his swimmers checked out to be all good, so it's all on me and my pain in the ass ovaries.

That's about all I've got for now...so redirecting my attention back to my appropriately large glass of wine.

    **Formerly EastBayBride508**

    Me 34   Him 33

    Me - Left salpingo-oophorectomy at 19 due to large cyst/torsion  and 2 large uterine fibroids found at age 30
