Hi Ladies!!
I just wanted to pop in here. I was welcomed to swing by to this board from Jess (thanks!) since the other boards doesn't get much action!.
Well I'll quickly introduce myself. My name is Donna and I am from a town located just outside of Baton Rouge, La. I am 30 yrs old and my DH (Thorne) is 23. We have been TTC for the past year. My experiences are in my siggy. Pretty much lame since my OB didnt really do anything but say "here take this (clomid)" no monitoring or anything. I took it upon myself to make an appointment for myself and DH to see an RE. So we did. I am very impressed with the consultation. He prescribed me with Provera to take for 5 days 2 times a day. I took my last pill 2 days ago, so now just waiting on AF. (Wish it would come soon!) After 8 months I'm wishing for my AF to start haha go figure. Anyways...to sum up what is going on this cycle (once AF starts). Day 3 I go in for blood work and a ultrasound of my ovaries. If everything checks clear, he will perform an HSG on CD10. DH is also getting his SA done about that time as well. Once all the results come back, my RE will decide the next steps. I don't think he will put me back on Clomid because he thinks that my OB has had me on it way to long. So I guess after the HSG is done he will begin his "roux" as he calls it. He says he likes cooking and mixing the right ingredients will give you a great roux. Lets just hope he knows how to cook ey? LOL. I actually get the feeling that picking this RE was a great idea. He seems to have taken both mine and DH's goal in heart and that is making a family!
Anyways....enough about me....I'd like to get to know a little more about you all. Names? Location (doesn't have to be pin point), how long TTC? etc. Anything you would like to tell. Talking about our experiences makes it less stressful for me knowing I'm having issues TTC .
Well have to run out for now. Baby dust to all and I hope to soon become friends with as well as get to know alot of you soon!
