J and I decided last December that we were ready to add a baby to our family. After six disappointing cycles, we're ready to take the next step.We know that healthy couples can take up to a year to conceive. However, given our respective ages and my known issues (stage IV endometriosis), we feel comfortable pursuing testing and exploring our options now rather than waiting for the full year.
I saw my ob/gyn this week. We reviewed my charts, discussed the potential problems I may be facing given the endo, and she ordered bloodwork to be done near the start of my next cycle. She's also going to refer me to a reproductive endocrinologist.
J is doing his part by making a donation in a clinic tomorrow. Despite all I have been through with surgery and other procedures, I don't envy him his task one bit!
