New here. Questions about infertility testing.

Hello ladies,

My name is Beth and I'm 30 years old. Hubby and I are ready to start a family. Of course, for the first time in my life, instead of being ridiculously regular and predictable, I haven't had a period since May.

I saw my doc who did a pap, blood work, and put me on Provera to try to induce a period. My labs came back normal, but I didn't have a period. My mom was premenopausal at 29 and in full menopause at 34 😔 I'm being referred to a fertility endocrinologist for further testing.

Does anyone have a similar experience? What does the failed progesterone challenge mean when bloodwork is normal? Any idea what I can expect with this specialist? I'm super down at the thought of possibly not being able to have a baby who will be 1/2 'me', ya know? While I am open to donor eggs, I don't even know if if want to go through the process of IVF for the cost vs success rate. Adoption? I'm certainly not against it, I just never thought that'd be a route I'd go...

Well I'm not in your exact situation. But I have been diagnosed infertility for other reasons. It is hard to hear something might be wrong. It's a great first step to have an appointment with a specialist. Hopefully you have found one you like. Your first appointment it would be nice to have your file from previous doctor. My doctor was able to analyze all my stuff and see what other test I needed. You will get answers and a plan in place! That's the exciting part moving forward.
