My Intro... long overdue!

Hi Ladies!
My name is Natalie. I live in Oklahoma but am from Canada. I am 22 years old and I am married to a professional hockey player, who is 23. We were married when I was 20 and we have been having fertility issues for about 2 1/2 years. I always knew something was wrong with my cycles since I was about 17. I always had very light or no cycle at all, which I thought was cool because I didn't have to worry about it. I started having my yearly pap at the age of 18 and it has been normal every year since then, which I thought was good too. I saw my first RE when i was 20 and was diagnosed with PCOS. I took metformin and clomid and never got pregnant. I have taken Femara (which I believe is the only thing that has ever made me ovulate). This year on August 4th I saw a new RE who did my HSG and determined that I had NO blockage but I did have a rather large polyp. On September 19th I had my Hysteroscopy/D&C/Polypectomy and found out that the polyp was abnormal but NO cancer, thank goodness. The uterine lining was normal, thank goodness. So, my doctor has started me on progesterone therapy to keep the lining thin and then do another biopsy in 3 months to make sure everything is still normal and the polyp is not trying to come back. Sooo, its looking like if everything goes okay and stays normal we could finally have our 2009 baby!

Thanks for reading this far and if you've experienced the same thing or close to the same thing I'd love to hear your story. Have a great day!!

Thanks for posting, Nattie.

I am new here as well - it seems like a great group. I can't say that I've experienced the issues you have, but it seems like you will find lots of support here!

Welcome to the group- although, be warned, we're all a bunch of crazy obsessive TTC fools!
