Hi Ladies! 
Am here to catch up!
Pippi, looks like O is playing tricks with you.
NOT NICE! Hope she shows up soon and you get the natural bfp this cycle!
Myshel, I saw your news. Nothing found on the lap? 
Thats frustrating. I guess it could be worsethey could have found something unfixable thing meant no chances at all. 
I cant believe you have to wait up to a year to see a FS. 
Is there anything your regular doc could do in the meantime, like clomid, just to increase your chances a little bit? You also might try looking into some of the theorized problems with unexplained fertility, like immune things. A woman on another thread linked to an immune suppressant protocol that might be worth looking into:

There are other theories floating around, but this is a prominent one. I think another is sperm genetic problems. (I read something but cant put my hands on it now.) I like your idea of using your wait time to get as healthy as possible. 
There are fertility cleanses, and healthy egg supplement protocols and such. If they increase your chances at all it might be worth it just so you can be proactive while you wait. Ive definitely seen miracle bfps around here, especially with the unexplained folks, so dont give up hope!! 
Hi, Despondent! I chatted with you a bit on the injectables thread (which is not taking off, but thats okay.
), but welcome to this one! 
It sounds like youve had a hard journey with not-so-hot support from your docs. I hope this second round of IUI will do it for you so that you can be bump buddies with your SIL! 
And Im definitely with you about being a different person than you were when you started. I never thought Id be angry at pregnant women, but I am. (Unless theyve earned it through m/c or LTTTC. Its the ones who get pregnant in one-three months who I really want to punch in the face. Not really, of course, but the urge is there. Especially when they say insensitive things to LTTTC women as if they have a freaking clue.) Anyway, much dust to you! 
Hi, Ella, how are you holding up? FYI, I think the a word is banned on BnB, as it can be so infuriating to see it, as you point out. 
Hope this week will see a resolution to your situation!
Welcome, Steph. Im sorry about your loss, and I hope youll get your sticky bfp soon. As for when to see a FS, its definitely up to you. I went after six months of failed trying following my m/c, because Im 35 and want to be more aggressive. Other ladies who are younger (and theoretically have more time, but thats not always true), or people who want to try naturally, will wait longer. It also depends on where you are. Some people cant get seen by a doc until 12 months of trying, and sometimes that means 12 months of trying following a m/c. I think thats really cruel. But you could call your local FS to see when theyd be willing to see you, if youd like. I hope this month is the month for you!
Dovkav, thats a great story about your OH.
I see youre about to have the hysteroscopy? Good luck on that! Hope you get good news!
Lorna, Im sorry about the jerk in your FB group. Thats so sad. In the US all sorts of idiots say all sorts of idiotic things about immigrants. Just gotta ignore them. I bet a lot of the other women in the group disagreed with that one woman, but hadnt said it yet. Such a thorny issue. In the US theres a lot of outcry about state-run pensions and cushy health insurance, and, well thats me. Ive been getting amazing health care coverage, and a lot of Americans think Im some fat cat living off the tax payers dollar. What can I say? Thank you?
But Im sorry you lost some of your support network over people being that silly. You still have us!!
AFM, Im actually finding my birth control time quite relaxing! Were going hiking for a few days, too, which I wouldnt have been able to do if the injections were happening right now. Im just trying to relax, thinking shrinky thoughts towards the cyst (the doctor assured me it was tooooooooootallly normaljust badly timed), and preparing myself mentally for shots and blood draws and cycle monitoring in a couple of weeks.
Big hugs to anyone I missed.
