I thought this forum might be just the place for me. My husband and I have been TTC for almost a year. It has been a struggle and it's so hard to see so many friends getting pregnant. I am hoping to connect with people who are having trouble ttc.
So here's a little background... I stopped taking BCPS and started TTC in October 2014. I started having very severe pain during AF. In March '15, I found out I had a cyst on my right ovary and it was likely I had endo. In June '15, I had a laproscopy. My doc said endo was severe and I have a "frozen pelvis". He cleaned a lot of it up and said I should be able to get pregnant. I just had a normal period this month and now I'm in the 2WW. If I don't get BFP this time, then my doc has me starting lupron injections for 3 months to help with endo. After that, I would TTC again for 3 months. If nothing happens again, then I'll have to have another surgery. I hope it doesn't come to that.
Welcome! You've come to a very supportive group. I haven't been here long myself, but people are willing to answer any questions that come up. I hope your stay here is short, and that you conception journey doesn't result in another surgery.

Welcome! Yay for normal periods! Isn't it odd how periods can either be really sad or really promising while TTC? At least they can mean things are workin right.
