Hey everyone, I'm Kyzo. I was a regular poster back on TD until the mass exodus. I have been lurking here since January (with a couple random GoT posts).
I'm 29, DH is 33 and we've been married almost 6 years. I'm a pharmacist in a hospital and DH is finishing a second Bachelors in accounting. We live in Colorado and bought a house in 2013. Our "first born" is our Havanese dog Maddie (my avatar). We started TTC in December 2011 and ended up needing help. After bloodwork, scans, and SAs we got the "unexplained infertility" diagnosis. DH did have a "subfertile" SA, but our doctor didn't think we needed to go straight to IUI. We started with clomid 50 mg without any response, then 100 mg. I reluctantly agreed to try 150 mg. After more bloodwork and some dates with the vag cam we finally got our BFP. DD was born in August 2013 and is a ton of fun.
When we started trying for #2 we thought it would take a while so we started earlier than planned (July 2014). Of course, we got pregnant on our first try and thought our IF struggles were behind us. But, I miscarried, had a D&C and was benched for two cycles. We started again in November and haven't had any luck. I called my doctor last month and asked when he could refer us back to the RE. I figured with my IF history the year mark was appropriate. My OB wants me to wait a year... starting from my first cycle after the D&C. So, now I have to wait until October before I get a referral. By the time the RE can get us in, run more tests and bloodwork it may not be until January 2016 until we have a plan. I'm super bummed, but trying to be optimistic.
Anyway, I have been charting for several months (as I did with TTC #1) and do OPKs regularly. I used CBE digital, but that shit gets $ when you're dealing with IF. I switched to Wondfos and confirm with a digi. Now, a box of digis lasts me 3 months.
I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone, even though I've been lurking for a loooooooooong time.
