Introducing myself, and wishing GL to all

Hi all! I am looking forward to becoming a member of this community because although I know none of us wish to be here, IF has brought us here nonetheless and from what I have been reading, this forum is full of brave and supportive women, and I am starting to realize that I need support, especially if I want to keep my sanity while dealing with IF.

I am 34, turning 35 in September and DH will be 35 in August. We have been TTC for #1 for over a year. Never been pregnant. My first RE diagnosed me with PCOS and probable mild endometriosis, and my current one ordered a laparoscopy to address the endo. I have pretty bad period pain and have been getting brown spotting consistently for years, starting halfway through my cycle, all the way until AF shows. We did the lap in April of this year and he found some evidence of past endo, but said there were no active lesions to be worried about and cleared me to use clomid. I am not sure what his findings mean and he has no explanation for the brown spotting, so we are working on getting a third RE to look at my records to see what he thinks. We are currently only doing TI with Clomid because my RE and DH are perpetual optimists and think that that will be enough. I am fine with that, because it gives us more time to save up for IVF. DH did agree to start IVF as soon as we are done with the months of clomid we agreed to do, so I am looking to jump right into IVF in September.  Once I know for sure what month we will start, I will be joining one of the monthly threads. 

Although I am a total newbie, and cannot offer much advise, I will try to be active on this board to at least cheer you on or offer you a shoulder to cry on should you need it. 

See you around~

    Hello. Welcome and I'm sorry that you have to be here with us.  I'm glad that your lap went well and that you were cleared from any active lesions. I hope that you'd get the answers you're looking for regarding the brown spotting. I'll be cheering you on on the next steps you'll take to get your rainbow baby. I hope that your stay here would be as short as possible. GL!
