Good morning Ladies!
After a lot of reading and lurking I am finally ready to introduce myself and all of my stinkin' IF baggage. My name is Ashley and my husband, Ryan, and I have been TTC our first since 2010. We got pregnant in 2011 and again in 2012, but the first one was a heterotopic pregnancy and the second an ectopic pregnancy. In January of 2013 my then OB performed the laparoscopy to determine whether or not I had endometriosis (apparently I don't). However, we have been unsuccessfully trying ever since. I have put off going back to the doctor for the usual IF workup (bloodwork, HSG, etc), but I finally went last week. Yesterday I did the first round of bloodwork to check my progesterone, and then I will do my CD3 draw for FSH/estrogen when that gets here. Other than that I am waiting on my insurance to approve the HSG and need to make the SA appointment for the hubs.
I know that I should be seeing an RE, but I am sticking with my OB for now just to get this prelim testing out of the way and to save money on these tests before moving to an RE.
I am so sorry that all of you ladies find yourself here. IF is such an ugly and emotional journey. I have been really struggling lately because I am now the only female in our family that isn't a mom. I sincerely hope that all of you get your hopes and prayers for a little one answered sooner than later. Anyway, I think that's more than enough for now. Since I am still figuring out the app version of this if you made it this far thank you and I am sending you a virtual plateful of delicious ooey gooey chocolate chip cookies!
