1. I am 26, my DH is 24

2. We've been married for 2 years, together for 3


3. We've been trying for 2 years

4. Idaho, but living in Mass.

5. I am a reality junkie, I love American Idol and Dancing with the Stars

6. Right now I am really into history, so I have read a lot of biographies. I really liked soem of David McCulloughs's books.


7. My DH and I love to take road trips together. We get to talk and site see and the same time. It is always better then the destination

8. We are just coming to terms witht the idea that something is wrong. I have been tracking my cycle for 8 months now. I have had 2 miscarriages (both after just 2 weeks). The most frustrating thing for us right now is that we aren't in a financial (or insurance) situation where we can really do much about it. I know I need to see and RE, but rigth now all I can do is plan for the day that we can afford it. Which will hopefullt be soon, since my DH is getting a new job.

I came to this site because I finally realized that I don't have to go through this alone. My family is great, but they just don't understand. So I am so happy to be here.

1. How old are you - 27

2. How long have you been married or with your significant other - we've been married 3.5 years and together for just over 6 years.

3. How long have you been trying - I stopped bcp in Jan of '05 but didn't start seeing a worthwhile doctor until Jan of '07.

4. What are your hobbies - reading, cross stitch, watching movies with DH, online gaming (not so much lately though)

5. Where are you from - I'm from all over, but I live in north Alabama

6. What is your favorite show on TV? - CSI, Dancing with the Stars (yay for it being back on!), Sex and the City reruns, My Name is Earl

7. Do you have a favorite book or author?- mostly fantasy but I love the classics too.

8. What was your favorite vacation? - hmm.. it's a toss-up between the last time I went back to Australia and the one time DH and I visited my best friend in Sarasota, FL.

9. Where are you in your ttc journey? - after 2 failed Clomid cycles and a third Clomid cycle that resulted in an ectopic pregnancy, I'm in the 2ww of my first combined cycle of Clomid and Follistim. I don't completely know why, but I have more faith in this cycle than I think I have ever had in anything before.

As far as how this whole process has affected our marriage, I can say without a doubt that it's brought us closer. I always knew my husband was strong and would always be there for me, but I finally came to fully appreciate it when I found out about my ectopic. There were days I just wanted to die since living meant it could happen again. But I know that I can get through anything with DH by my side.

I do have some regrets. Mostly about when I sought proper medical care for our problems. I told my first OB that we were trying and all he did was give me a Rx for Clomid and an instruction sheet and said some back if it doesn't work. He was in no way interested in finding out why I wasn't ovulating. I waited about 7 months after that before I finally got around to finding a new OB. The new doc immediately diagnosed me with PCOS. Knowing the problem definitely makes figuring out a course of treatment a lot easier.

This thread is great. I wish I had found it earlier. Good luck to everyone still in the journey and big congratulations to everyone who's already gotten their BFPs!
