Trouble TTC

Quick Update on the DH Situation

Well ladies, I really appreciate all of your fantastic advice and support.  DH and I have had the most difficult month of our entire lives.  The pregnancy, the blood results and US's of a nonviable pregnancy, and the D&C nearly did us in.  We have gone through hours of talking everything through and crying together (more like sobbing).  Even after everything we have been through we are on the path to healing finally.  

We have had a lot of really good discussions and were able to get everything out on the table.  We threw the possibility of splitting up off the table and both agreed that we were going to do whatever it takes to make this work.  I haven't felt this happy in a long time.  It was so refreshing to come home today and be able to hug and kiss my DH and laugh and goof off like we normally do.  We have a fun little activity planned this weekend!  (thank you for the suggestion)  :)

As far as ttc goes, we have decided to just go with the flow.  We're not going to try and if it happens on it's own then fantastic.  I'm done temping, I'm done with opk's, and I'm finished seeing the RE.  In all honesty, I have grown to hate that place.  Every time I had to walk in there I felt anxiety and anger over everything.  We're going to let God have control and focus on our marriage and loving on one another right now. 

I hope you don't mind me hanging around on this board because you have all gotten me through this and I want to continue to be apart of all of your lives.  Lots of HUGS and love to all of you!

  • What a breakthrough!! Congrats :)
    See you around and I will pray for a natural surprise ;) have fun this weekend and enjoy the relief.
    TTC#1 since Aug 2013, I'm 37, DH 41.  
    Maya Arvigo Abdominal massage (daily self care), plus TTC meditations.
    I'm very sensitive to diet (gluten, avoid processed foods) and environment. Have a history of inflammation and tendinitis before going off gluten in 2009.  
    July 2014 - RE Visit #1: Eggs look good, Endometrioma on R ovary, HSG showed blocked R tube close to ovary. DH SA normal 
    DX: Endometriosis probably the IF cause and gunking up tubes.  Since egg reserve is high, RE says I can wait a couple months and then get laproscopic surgery to remove endo & clear tube.  If that doesn't help then move to IVF. 
    Dec 2014 - Saw new RE - does not recommend surgery on tube as it isn't likely to help.  Doubts I have endometriosis.  My endometrioma shrunk to neglible size (yay!) 
    Seriously considering IVF in March/April
    12/17/14 - Natural BFP!

  • So glad you and H are working things out. You don't need to deal with that on top of IF. When I took a break from OPKs, testing, procedures it was a huge relief and did wonders for my marriage not to mention my sanity. You guys are so young, maybe you will eventually get a pleasant surprise, if not who knows what the future holds. I hope you stick around too :)
