Feeling defeated

On the bright side, you are still young (34 is NOT old). A best friend of mine battled infertility and just had her baby at age 43.

You need to see an infertility specialist.

Call Shady Grove and ask about IUI, it is not too expensive, its really low tech, and bonus - since sex is painful for you - you don’t even have to have sex. They assist in the process so you don’t have to worry about timing your ovulation or having intercourse. The guess work is taken out and your chances of conceiving are much higher! Good luck to you!

My husband works for a certain hospital and we have to stay within that system for insurance purposes. There is a weight guideline.

But making an appt to discuss things to do/option s while I lose the weight required

Do you actually have fertility coverage? Because most people don't and are out of pocket for most ART therapies anyway. If that's the case, I wouldn't worry about who takes your insurance. If you DO have fertility coverage, I understand waiting to lose weight - because it can save you a lot of money. But I'm heavier than you, and my RE (Sacks at Columbia Fertility) told me multiple times that the benefit of losing weight is "outweighed" by the loss of time and egg quality that it takes.

Anyway, an initial appointment should be able to give you an idea of what you're dealing with. Good luck!

Have you ever talked to your doctor about endometriosis? I agree that seeing an RE is the right way to go.
