Hi everyone. I'm going to go ahead & apologize for the length of this post. I'm 29, DH is 30 (as of yesterday). A little background...I was 21 when I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Had a complete thyroidectomy 2 days before Christmas. Since then my thyroid levels have never been regular until this last year but they are not consistent. My endocrinologist has monitors me closely & my levels are in the needed range for pregnancy. We've been trying for 15 months now. In the past I have been told I had cysts on my ovaries but never an official PCOS diagnosis. My progesterone levels are good & just did my HSG yesterday morning so I won't get those test results back til next week. DH's SA came back perfect, too. My OB/GYN will do 1 other test, depending on my HSG results then send me on to a fertility clinic. The closest one is 5 hours away. I'm under a tremendous amount of stress (dad diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, mom becoming mentally unstable, taking over their personal & business affairs while being 6 hours away, just to name a few things) I know stress is a huge factor for conceiving & Im sure its just complicating things even more in our situation. I get massages, use essential oils, crafts....anything & everything to help me de-stress. No one knows we are trying so I have lurked here for a few months. You all are so supportive & I have already learned so much from y'all already. Thanks for listening to me.

Like @NariaDreaming mentioned, some REs will use OB offices as satellite clinics.
My RE is about 4 hrs away and I am able to do all my monitoring through my regular OBGYN. RE makes the protocol for each cycle and I email him after monitoring appts and let him know how I'm progressing. We will skype for our WTF appts and he makes one face-to-face sit down appt. a month. Hopefully there is something similar in your situation. A 10 hr round trip would almost be impossible. Good luck, sweetie!

Welcome to the community. I'm sorry you find yourself here. Everybody pretty much covered it, but I just wanted to reiterate that stress doesn't seem to be your main IF issue, so don't be too hard on yourself. It sounds like you're doing what you can to take care of yourself even though you have SO MUCH going on right now. My hat is off to you for juggling everything.
