Intro!
KateTim2012

Hi ladies! I'm excited to get to know all of you. I have been reading different things on here and am so happy to see all the support given to one another.
I'll start with a little intro of my DH and myself. I'm 33. DH is 46. Neither of us have children and have been TTC for just over three years. I have a family history of IF, so a lot of the info is not new to me, but it is to DH. It can be overwhelming for him!
In the initial testing, DH found out he has a low sperm count, motility and abnormal morphology. My HSG test came back "textbook perfect". I was happy for that. I have had a history of ovarian cysts. All the women in my family have been through IF, so I feel there may be some unexplained IF going on.
Tomorrow, I have my baseline tests and should be starting stimulation tomorrow night! I'm really excited to start the process, but I'm also a little nervous.
I'm really happy to be here and go through this with all of you! I wish you all the best of luck!
