We started TTC trying when I was 30. I was also told that I should have no problem since my periods were normal and that I have never had problems. Looking back, of course my periods were normal, I was on BCPs for years. We went for two years with no luck and the same doctor, after the first year she suggested OPKs. After two years, we saw a new ob/gyn and he started the tests: sperm test, blood tests for me, then the ultrasounds that spotted the endometriomas on my ovaries. My first lap/hysteroscopy I was diagnosed with stage IV endo, with extensive scarring and adhesions, and uterine polyps. Since then, 6 months of Lupron, 2 more laps, 2 HSGs, 1 hysteroscopy, another new ob/gyn (this is the one who finally sent me to RE), and one failed IVF cycle. We are about to start our second IVF cycle in January.
