Hi everyone,

Just wanted to make a start and give my introduction.

My DH and I have our first Fertility Specialist appointment in two weeks and so are about to embark on the rollercoaster of infertility treatment!  So far, we have been told the issue lies with me: I have a history of dysfunctional bleeding and some structural abnormalities and a luteal phase problem.  Thankfully DH’s swimmer appear to be ok. 

I am hoping to find some sanity on here as currently I am allowing myself to become completely consumed by TTC!

Hi ladyO,

Don't worry it's so easy to become fully consumed ttc in fact I think many of us on here are obsessed    . Everything will be moving on pretty fast once you get your first appointment!

Good luck hun

Welcome to FF, LadyO!! This is a great website for support, information, laughter and friendship, it has kept me (relatively!) sane though all my treatment. Have a good look round the site, post in whatever section you want and make yourself at home. There are so many sections here with a huge amount of information, so whatever you are going through there will be someone here to help you.

Lynsnjon is right, most of us are obsessed with ttc, it is totally normal. If you want sanity, you have come to the wrong place!

Here are a few links that you might find useful:

While undergoing treatment, you might find it useful to join other ladies having treatment at the same time. The Cycle Buddies threads are just for that. Just pop along to the appropriate month and say "Hi" when you are ready to start treatment ~ CLICK HERE

The What Every New Member Needs To Know (includes a list of common abbreviations) thread will give you some info on how to navigate the site ~ CLICK HERE

We also have a newbie night in the chat room every Wednesday where you can meet other new members and a few more experienced (I won't use the term "old"!) members will be there to answer any questions you have about the site. CLICK HERE FOR INFO ON NEWBIE CHAT

If you look on the main forum index you will find location boards. You can find others in your area, and even people going to the same clinic who will provide invaluable advice - some groups even have meet ups.

Please feel free to ask more questions here, or on any other part of the site, there will be wonderful helpful people there to give you lots of support, information and cyber hugs if you need it. We go through all the highs and lows of treatment together.

Good luck!

Sue
