Introduction

in Trouble TTC
Hello all,
My name is Pamela.  I'm almost 30. I've been married for four years.  We have been BC free our entire marriage. Initially we were NPNT. For the past year we have been TTC. I have a new job, new insurance, and a new doc.  Doctor decided to proceed with infertility investigation when I expressed some concern.

I have a short, but regular cycle averaging 23 days
Bloodwork panel including TSH and FSH came back normal
Ultrasound at CD10 revealed several small/med cysts on my ovaries, requested follow up ultrasound on CD3 next cycle

So, now I'm just waiting for a final diagnosis. In the wait I realized that while my friends would be supportive they can't really relate to the issue at hand as it is not something any of them have experienced. I hope that I can find that community here, and contribute to it as well.

Me: 30  DH: 30
Married 07.17.10
TTC 08.2013
In the midst of IF Testing:
9.29.14: Blood work panel including TSH and FSH came back normal
10.06.14: Ultrasound at CD10 revealed several small/med cysts on my ovaries, requested follow up ultrasound on CD3 next cycle
10.14.14: 7DPO Progesterone Test (Scheduled)

    Weclome and good luck!  @rainbowbridge14 beat me to the other comments I was going to make.  If your doctor doesn't already have an HSG test for you and SA test for YH on the radar you should either ask for it or seek a new doctor (and RE if you're currently just seeing an OBGYN).

    Hope your stay with us is short!

    Me: 31 (PCOS) possible right tube issues DH: 36 (SA normal) 
    Started dating in 2006, Married 2012 
    TTC since November 2013 
    First RE visit due to irregular periods: June 2014
    Lap/Hysto to remove polyps, cyst and tube blockage 11/6
    Cycle 1 (Dec. 2014) TI with Clomid, Trigger, & Progesterone CX due to no response
    Impatiently Waiting CD1 to try again with Fermara Back on the bench due to giant cyst,
    who know I'd ovulate on my own after a cancelled cycle and end up with a mega cyst :(
    All Welcome

    So far appointments are with a DRNP. Initially chose her because her background is in holistic midwifery. She is part of a larger practice with an RE on staff. They delivered the results of my ultrasound together, so it seems to be a very collaborative office.

    Husband has appointment for SA next week.

    HSG was mentioned. She wanted to get through the first round of tests before ordering one in the event that some diagnosis was made clear.

    This is a big red flag! HSG is an absolute necessity before any treatment. Most of us here have multiple issues. If you've gone 4 years without success, there are good chances you and/or YH have more than one contributing factor going on. A doctor should never make the assumption that your uterus and tubes are clear. An HSG is an essential part of a workup.

    Welcome, too, though!! :) I'm sorry you have to be here, but glad you have joined us. I hope your journey will be short and smooth!
