Hi all,
This is my very first post on a message board ever so forgive me if I leave something out or use the wrong terminology! I have been reading some of your stories and was inspired to finally introduce myself. I'm hoping to be able to come here with questions and frustrations and maybe help provide some encouragement along the way. Here's my story in bullets (I'm a list person can't help it!!!):
- Married in June 2012
- stopped taking BCP in Dec. 2012
- actively TTC Feb 2013
- Started charting, using OPKs, very irregular cycles 28-40 days
- saw OB due to irregular cycles and lack of positive on OPKs March 2014
- Did HSG (normal) and checked thyroid (normal)
- Convinced DH to do a SA which came back abnormal
- DH's general doc wanted to do follow up blood work stalled referral to RE
- Did two blood tests to check if I was ovulating these were normal
- Still never had a positive on OPK but also have not tried in the last 4 cycles
- cycles have gotten better now between 28-32 days
- DH had blood work and completed another SA, blood work came back abnormal in 2 areas
- Finally got referred to a urologist/RE where we will get results of DH's 2nd SA and hopefully some answers
Sending you all positive thoughts!
