Trouble TTC

New to 3T (Introduction - Loss Mentioned)

Hi Everyone! I've been lurking a bit so I thought perhaps it was time to make an introduction.
Here's my story: my name is Meredith and I am fairly active on TTCAL and TTC35+. In January I got a BFP after going off BCP in the fall of 2013. At 9 weeks I started spotting and cramping and a missed miscarriage was diagnosed; the embryo was between 6 and 7 weeks. I was benched for one cycle and then started NTNP for a bit as I warmed back up to the idea of TTC. I have gotten more serious the past four/five cycles. I had been using OPKs all along, but now I am also temping. It has been 6 months of trying without any result and I have an appointment with an RE the first week of November.
The only known issue at this point is submucosal fibroids. I have had them for a few years at least. I recently went back and looked at the radiology reports. In 2011 the largest one was about 5cm. I was told by 2 OB/gyns and a perinatologist at the time that at 5cms they weren't particularly concerned. If I recall correctly, the perinatologist told me then that she would worry if it was over 7 or 8 cm. Well, as of my ultrasound in March the largest is 8.5 so I am concerned. I really like my OB, but this is not her area of expertise so hopefully the RE can help me out.
I am somewhat familiar with the tests that REs do just from reading others' posts, but now I am the one who will be facing this and I know I will be looking for all the insight I can get. I am looking forward to getting to know those of you I don't already know from the other boards. I am sorry, however, that any of us are in need of this board at all. Thanks for taking the time to read my story.
ETA: fixed grammatical error.
