Just an intro

JennyH81 · December 2014

I've posted a few times on here after lurking a bit so thought I'd introduce myself - hope I am following the etiquette properly! I'm 33, married almost 7 months to DH (39) and hoping to start TTC in January. DH was the one who really put BOTB for me - part of me was nervous to start trying so soon after getting married, but now I'm really getting excited. My big worry is that I have endo, which has caused a ton of IF issues in my family. For treatment I've been on the pill continuously for 13 years now, so I truly have no clue what my cycle is or how long it will take to get up and running once I stop BC - at age 16/17 it was terrible - 12-14 day heavy periods with only 8-10 days between them - I actually developed anemia from it. So I've mentally prepared for a many month process at a minimum. On the plus side, OBGYN said my ovaries look great and that having been treated for so long has hopefully helped prevent any major endo-related damage. For now, I'm just trying to learn as much as I can and have some people who I can talk to about my baby-fever (since we aren't telling anyone we are TTC).
