Hey there! I've lurked around various Bump boards for some time, but after an unsuccessful year of trying to conceive it seems like this community is the best fit for me. I'm 30, my husband is 31. We live in the Midwest, have been married for 4 years, and we're trying for our first kiddo.

My cycles were pretty consistent until 9 months ago, when I started to have a lot of mid-cycle bleeding and early spotting following ovulation. My LPs were getting down to 7, 6 days, which really took all of excitement out of trying to conceive since I really never even got to test.

Preliminary evaluation with our RE showed that I have mild PCOS/weak ovulation, and luckily my husband's SA came back normal. The RE suggested jumping right into a medicated IUI cycle, but I balked at that and instead we settled on doing a few medicated, TI cycles until the end of the year. Right now I'm 4DPO on our last natural cycle, but since I spotted yesterday I really don't have a lot of hanging on it.

So! Thanks in advance for letting me join up. This board seems really chill and supportive.

    I'm sorry that you have this diagnosis, but glad that you've got a treatment plan you're comfortable with :) Hopefully meds + TI will work and you'll be off this board by the end of the year. :D

    Welcome. Chill and supportive we are!
    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!
