Trouble TTC

New here...

Hi...
I'm Katie. My H and I have been ttc unsuccessfully for a year now so I thought I should join in.

I am in Canada, work as veterinary assistant and have 2 verrrry spoiled cats (see avatar).

We got MH's SA results back from my GP. He didn't really know how to interpret them but gave us a copy of the results and a referral to an RE.

I'm not too sure what to expect going forward as I live in a rural community and will have to take full days off for any testing etc.

Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself before posting. I lurked a lot on TTGP .

I look forward to getting to know everyone.

  • Welcome, although I'm so sorry you find yourself here. So glad you are going to see an RE. Sounds like the logistics will be a pain, but your quality of care will be so much better which usually translates into higher success rates. Good luck with the testing phase.

  • Welcome in sorry you have to be here with us but, everyone here is great. Good luck!
  • Welcome. Sorry you have to be here. Good luck with the RE. I have to drive 2.5 hours to my RE, and I know some girls go further. It is a pain, but I feel so much more confident that is going to work than when I was seeing my OB in town. If you have an OB near you sometimes the RE will have you do monitoring and bloodwork there. That is what I do, so I only have to make the drive for procedures and consults. Best of luck!
