Infertility

New to the board!

I've been lurking for a little while so I figured I should go ahead and introduce myself! My husband and I started TTC a little over a year ago, but around the 6 month mark my OB did an ultrasound and found what looked to be a fibroid. She sent me over to an RE who took a better look and found what he thought to be 8 or 9 decent sized fibroids within the cavity, so we went ahead and scheduled a hysteroscopy. He ended up removing 15!

I went back for a post-op HSG about a month later and unfortunately there were still so many to remove that we had to go back in laparoscopically. It turned into a 4 hour surgery but he said he feels really good about the results so far. He said that he's only had 3 or 4 patients with fibroids this severe in the past, but several of them have successfully gotten pregnant so I'm hoping the same happens for us. I have another HSG next week, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everything looks good and we can move forward.

This seems like such a supportive group, so I'm excited to meet everyone here! :D
