Hi Everyone!
I'm 27 and my DH is 38, we have been married for 2 years and ttc for 18 months. I'm so confused and have so many questions so I will attempt to give you the super condensed version of what has been going on lol
Jan 09--saw my gyn after ttc for almost a year. Noticed now I am spotting a day or 2 before my period--she is not concerned
Mar09--husband has SA's (normal)
July09--my annual with gyn, refers me to RE
July09--meet RE, exam, genetic testing, day2 blood
Aug09--bloodwork confirms I did ovulate on my own
Sept09--HSG (ouch!! ) start Clomid for the first cycle, more blood work and ultrasounds then I even thought I would have
end of Sept09--AF shows up :-(
When I went in at the end of the month to confirm I ovulated noticed that my RE was VERY pg?? How did I not notcie this before?? Am all of a sudden having a TON of problems with this dr and my insurance company. So, I found a new doctor and will see him on Friday--nervous and excited at the same time.
This whole adventure is crazy to me--never in a million years did I think I would be seeing a RE?? It makes me so upset and so angry. I want nothing more than to be able to have sex with my husband and get pg!! I never knew I would be at a point in my life where hearing that a friend is pg makes me burst into tears?? And how about when people ask, "when are you guys gonna have a baby??" And who doesn't hate it when people who know you are having trouble offer their own stupid advice or say, "Itll happen". This entire experience has been crazy and overwhelming and it really is only getting started. Pls tell me I'm not the only one who feels this way LOL

No, you're not! You'll be so happy you found FT! There are MANY people who are dealing with IF, or have dealt with it. Everything you are feeling is normal!

It's very important to have a good relationship with your RE. This journey is so emotional and difficult, it helps so much to have someone you trust and feel is providing you with appropriate tx. Don't be surprised if the new RE wants to repeat some of the testing, esp the b/w; they often like to have results from their own labs.

Post on Friday and let us know how that appt goes!

Thanks so much for your response!!! I did change dcotors and I feel better about this doctor. Its unbelievable how different he is from my previous doctor but I think I'm in much better hands!
He noticed that I have cysts on my ovaries and started me on Metformin to see if that helps. Tomorrow, I have to go in for a post coital test, hopefully this will be one more thing to check off the list as normal!! lol

I'm so glad that you feel better about this doctor! it sounds like he is considering PCOS for you? We have a great PCOS board, if you think that would be helpful. Good luck tomorrow and let us know how the PCT goes!
