Trouble TTC

Maybe we finally have an answer-- kind of...

Thanks to everyone for suggesting I find a new RE, since my last one wasn't quite thorough, in my opinion. My new RE is great! She immediately blood tested me for everything the other RE missed, did my saline US (finally!) and got my husband in for a second SA and bloodwork. She had a real consultation with me that didn't include the sentence "Clomid is your only option, so call me when you're ready to get pregnant." (I was fighting Clomid since I was ovulating on my own). She also told me I DO have cysts on my ovaries, while the other RE told me I didn't (despite the old RE's notes documenting 17 cysts... bizarre).
During my saline us, she found some tissue that was attached side to side across my uterus that shouldn't be there. Possible scar tissue? Later in the day I felt very sick and began cramping and it looks like I may have passed what they saw. Hoping this is the case. Regardless, surgical intervention coming soon. She said this could be responsible for no PG over the last year and a half. Hope it's really this simple.
In the meantime, DH and I have been losing weight, getting healthy and enjoying our new house we just purchased. And DH is on treatment for his paltry 12% viable sperm SA results. Retesting next week, so hoping he's made a turn around!

This speaks to the importance of a 2nd opinion when you're not fully confident in the first! Good for you for advocating for yourself and finding a good fit! I hope everything goes well and that this answer will make your treatment effective!
