Another Newbie.... Hello! (intro)
BDevereaux
member
Hi everyone! I've been a major lurker of this board since earlier this year, when I started treatments for infertility. I've learned so much from you girls (thank you for that!), and I'm embarrassed I didn't introduce myself earlier. Mainly, I didn't want to offend anyone or be a "hit and run", but I'm hoping it's safe to post here now since we're in our third cycle with the RE, hoping for our second IUI later this month. All together, we've been TTC #2 for over a year and a half. We tried the first 12 months on our own, but for the last 9 months have had the help of my OB/Gyn and now the RE.
My sig sums up what we've been through so far, but I should mention for the most part, we're dealing with unexplained infertility. However, my husband has had conflicting SA thus far. The initial analysis showed great counts, but poor morphology. The RE asked that he start taking FertilAid, and within a month (at our first IUI), the morphology had improved to the point where the RE wasn't worried about his numbers, which surprised us both as we didn't think the FertilAid would help morpholgy very much. Maybe it was just luck, though. I guess we'll see how the numbers are in the future. Fingers crossed.
A few non-IF related facts about me:
I'm 29 years old. When I'm not working (part-time), I enjoy gardening, knitting, reading, any Real Housewives franchise, and a good Bloody Mary. I've been married to DH (36) for 5 years, and we have a 4-year old DD.
If you have any questions for me, feel free to ask! (Or if you think I need to hightail it to another board, tell me that, too!)
*ETA: This turned out to be a lot longer than I anticipated, sorry! I should also add... I have a tendency to be a bit long-winded.

Re: Another Newbie.... Hello! (intro)
Interesting tip about FertilAid. Our doctor just told DH to take an over the counter men's multivitamin and add CoQ10 if we want.
