[quote=Anonymous]I, like many others, am new to this forum but I'd like to share my experience in hopes that it will be useful to others in similar situations. I also truly enjoy reading everyone's success stories :D

My DH and I have been TTC for nearly six years. I am 36 years old and was beginning to lose hope in our chances to concieve. We had been to a couple of OBGYNs that would go no further than to say we were experiencing unexplained fertility. We were repeatedly told that this just happens to some couples so we should basically learn to live with it and keep trying on our own. We finally made it to an OBGYN that tried three unsuccessful IUIs. She suggested a laparoscopy and hysteroscopy, to which we agreed, and found that I had mild endometriosis. She removed the endo and twice within the following year we concieved. We lost both pregnancies, however :cry:

We finally ventured out and found a Reproductive Endocrinologist and decided to take a chance. He was wonderful! :mrgreen: He understood our concerns and empathized with our struggles and heartaches throughout our journey. He ran what seemed like a million tests but was able to find our issue!!! And it is correctable!

I have a gene mutation that stops my body from absorbing folic acid and producing progestrone. He also found some things identified in the labs that led him to believe my endometriosis had returned. He prescribed Folgard and a specific Prenatal which I have been taking for nearly one month. My skin has cleared and the discoloration I had along my jaw line is nearly gone. I have more energy and was able to loose nearly 15 pounds during that month. He also suggested another hysteroscopy. Again, we agreed. He found and removed the endometriosis as well as a polyp that the OBGYN had missed.

My surgery was nearly two weeks ago and I feel so much better than I did after the first surgey. There has been little pain, just mild discomfort. He seems absolutely confident that we will be able to conceive on our own within a couple of cycles.

DH and I are ecstatic to start trying!!! I am thankful that we took the chance on the RE and we are anxiously looking forward to our BFP!!!! :thumbup:
Prayers and baby dust to everyone![/quote]
