July ICLW

Hello to all from ICLW!  I haven’t participated in ICLW for a few months so am super excited to get back into it!

I did have a good post all written up and ready to go but my computer froze and I lost it.  So you get this instead!  Lol

My hubby J and I have been married for almost 8 years and have TTC for 6 ½.  In 2004 I discovered I had thyroid cancer and had my thyroid removed.  We were able to get pregnant after that 4 times but lost all of those babies early on.  I was diagnosed with PCOS last year and started taking Metformin which really hasn’t done anything for me at all.  J and I decided that we want to adopt but since it’s so expensive need to save up for a while.  So in the meantime we’re continuing trying to conceive.  I started going to an RE in March and had a laproscopy & hysteroscopy in April.  He removed some fibroids and a little bit of endometriosis but everything else seemed to be just fine.  He did a bunch of bloodwork and discovered that I most definitely have PCOS, but unlike many, do seem to ovulate on my own which is a very good thing!  I just started on Clomid yesterday so we’ll see how that goes.  As I wrote in a previous post, I finally feel like I can have a bit of hope – something that has been very lacking with me for a long, long time.  I’m struggling to find that balance though as I am so scared of being disappointed again.

At any rate, that’s my TTC journey in a nutshell!  Looking forward to getting to know all of you more this month.

  1. I'm so glad that you've gotten back some hope! I will keep my fingers crossed for you. Ovulating on your own is a good first step!

  2. Hoping for you for this clomid cycle! :) Just curious - if you ovulate on your own already, what will the clomid do?

  13. Good Luck with the Clomid! It made me very emotional- much more so than the injectible medications ever did. Hoping that this is the month for you!
