My Fertility History

OK. Post number 1. Where to start?

Perhaps I should begin by telling you a bit of my fertility history. This is it in a nutshell: I got married at 24 & started trying about 6 months after that. Was totally obsessed with having a baby! After about 12 months of trying I consulted my GP who referred me to a gynaecologist. Through blood tests & ultrasounds he diagnosed me with Polycycstic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) & Endometriosis. I went in for a laparoscopy where he lasered off the endo, drilled my ovaries & then put me on Clomid to produce more eggs. We had no luck after another 6 months of trying. My relationship was breaking down by that point so we abandoned the whole thing, and eventually each other. (*Pls note this wasn't due to the fertility issues, we had MUCH bigger issues than that!)

I'm now 35 (eek!) & have been living with my gorgeous new man for about 6 years and having the time of our lives after moving interstate. He's 15 years older than me & already has two older children from his previous marriage. Coming to this point has been a long emotional journey already as he was understandably apprehensive about entering fatherhood later in life & had a vasectomy after the second child. Anyway, we're finally in a great place & he is even feeling excited about being a dad again. Yay! I can get started!!! ;-)
