I've been lurking for months, I've already learned so much from all of you, thank you!
I'm Kristin, 35 years old. I have a 7 year old son from a previous marriage and 2 step-children. My husband and I have been TTC since August 2015. In April this year I had a D&E at 6 weeks, and just had a chemical in August. I have my first RE appointment scheduled for next week (I actually had one scheduled for April, but cancelled when I got my BFP... I'm 5DPO today so crossing my fingers that I can do the same this time, although timing wasn't great due to a camping trip so I'm not getting too excited this cycle). Glad to finally join in on the board and wishing everyone here good luck!

Welcome and I wish you the best with your RE appt! I just scheduled my first RE appt for October...excited and nervous all at the same time but it will be nice to feel we have some sort of plan.
Welcome! I'm so sorry for your losses. FX that your visit with the RE gives you some answers and a solid plan.

Below is an update from my RE appointment. I'm also posting an intro on T-TTC with the same info. What's the norm if you're active on more than one board? I don't want to plaster the bump with the same updates on multiple boards each week... do you just have one board that's "home" and just comment on others?
I had my first RE appointment today and my head is spinning, they really don't mess around! I'm on CD2, good timing they said, so they were able to do the blood test and an ultrasound today. I had 7 follicles on one side, and 5 on the other. Here's my plan:
Clomid 100mg cycle days 5-9 CD 9: blood test for FSH and an HSG CD 10: Hysteroscopy CD 11: ultrasound and blood work to monitor response to Clomid and trigger with Ovidrel
Daily: PNV, baby asprin, 600mg CoQ10, and vitamin D
They also ordered a SA for DH, but with his work schedule it won't happen before the trigger, so he'll have to wait (we have an HMO so he will have to go in to the primary doc for a physical first to get the referral). And I have a massive list of blood work to go get done.

Sounds like a lot of tasks, but yay to having a plan of attack!
I think quite a few of us are on multiple boards (I'm also on the TTTC board), I've never seen anyone get upset about people participating in more than one.

Dx: low progesterone, possible DOR - officially "unexplained"
