Trouble TTC
Options

Thank you ladies....

I just wanted to thank everyone who has commented and given me such great advice! There was so much (and probably still a lot more!) that I didn't know about Infertility. You have been patient with my questions/frustrations. I am happy to say that I contacted my endocrinologist today and she is referring me to a Reproductive Endocrinologist (RE)! I can't wait for the call to make an appointment!

Also, I am having trouble on this website to edit my signature to say what all is going on with me (diagnosis, medications, and such). I put everything in the signature box and save it because it is there when I go back andlook, but nothing shows up when I post???? Anything I am missing something here? LOL

    Thank you all! It is nice to have friends that can relate :-) I will absolutely keep everyone updated :-) I'm currently on CD25 and the tatas are starting to hurt (normal for me before AF) but I am having REALLY light pink discharge (hardly any) but I am use to a good quantity of dark discharge before AF..... so who knows?!?!? Holding out for at least Day 30 before taking a test and getting my hopes up.

    He ladies!

    Got a phone call from my OBGYN today and they said that they would start monitoring my cycles on Clomid. I have a RX for Clomid to refill for when my next cycle starts. I just got an e-mail from my regular Endocrinologist today and she has reffered me to a RE but it is over 2 hours away...... Is this common to have to drive for a RE? Also, (TMI WARNING) today is day 27 and I am still having VERY light pink/brown blood. When I told my OBGYN office they got excited and said that this could be implantation bleeding. They said that since I had such a short cycle last month to wait until day 30 and take a HPT...... What do you guys think?? Could I still be in the game even though my Progesterone level was 4.5 on CD20? Also been having to visit the bathroom regularly an hoping I am not getting a UTI :0(

    If you get a BFP, feel free to go straight to first tri since you aren't an established member here. If you get a BFN, feel free to stick around. LOTS of people drive to their REs.

    Ok, but just because I'm not an "established member" doesn't mean that I haven't been through hell TTC for a year and a half. I had just finally broke down and decided I needed to talk with people who would UNDERSTAND. My regular friends and family don't, especially when a family member who SHOULD NOT be having another child, is pregnant again and I have to go through enough of those emotions. Surely, I have not had to go through as much as some of these strong women on here, but enough that it makes an impact on my life, decisions, and emotions. Too bad, I was looking forward to thanking the women on here who helped me by telling me WHAT an RE was and steps to take to get there... that is, IF I am pregnant (which for all I know could just be a clomid factor). But, I got the message.

    Thank you for your post. I didn't realize that they didn't commonly practice in a regular endocrinologist offices. Looks like I am taking the day off from work on October 20th to see a RE.:-)
