in Trouble TTC
Hi Everyone! 
I'm brand new to the bump and just wanted to introduce myself before I start commenting or joining in on any discussions. My hubby and I have been TTC for just over 2 years now. We've dabbled in the RE world (got most of our tests done and did a couple clomid cycles) but will be jumping in fully this January. I know that once the testing, shots and hormones start I will need a place to connect with other women going through the same thing. I hope to be of as much help as I can to you all as well :-)

Also, just created my siggy the best I could but any input to make it better/easier to read is more than welcome!

    Thanks for the warm welcome ladies!

    @iputketchuponketchup (amazing name btw, i myself prefer siracha ketchup) Yeah, I'm sure you are right about that and after that experience I will be 100% sure to be monitored. Looks like you had a similar, albeit way worse, situation with Clomid?!

    @shafwilson That's awesome, must be a good luck day! My DH proposed on 11/11/11 so we tried to get as close to that as possible. Happy anniversary to you :-)

    Welcome! So sorry for what you've had to go through - I'm sending an early throat punch (we do that on Thursdays around here) to your OB for giving you a bursting cyst with (assuming unmonitored) Clomid. Grr.

    Good luck, hope you're not here long!

    @kef21287 GL at your appt. in Jan, you'll have to let me know how it goes! I'm guessing they are going to move us right into IUI but I'm open to Clomid again as long as it's monitored. There's no way I'm going through that again. BTW my DH is 7 years older than me too (29 and 36), cheers to older men haha ;-)

    Thank you! I will be sure to update on here after my appointment.  I also hope to go right to IUI as opposed to meds and TI.  I have good insurance coverage starting next year and just want results already.  With IUI, it seems they still prescribe Clomid or Femara and possibly a trigger shot.  Based on reading other ladies' experiences here, unmedicated IUI's don't happen often. 
    And yes, cheers to older men ;-)  I have always dated older men.

    @kef21287‌ Yeah I'm assuming our IUI will include all the drugs as well :-/ Unfortunately our insurance doesn't cover much but we've been putting money into our HSA prepping for IUI and/or IVF. We figure if some miracle happens it can be the beginning of a college fund :-)

    Yes @scheyanne, I did have emergency surgery when I was 18 following my cyst rupture. It actually happened during sex... TMI, maybe? haha 
    Started having cramps almost immediately after, then it progressively got worse. By the next morning (I didn't sleep much that night), I was having diaphragm spasms which felt like a fricken heart attack when I was laying down. I almost passed out when going to the bathroom and my boyfriend brought me to the ER. Had surgery that same day! My poor mother had to drive through Hurricane Isaac debris to get to me from New Orleans.

    Welcome. Thank you for the happy horsies gif. That made me smile. :)
    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!
