Hi all,
I joined this site awhile back but left for quite awhile. Time to re-introduce myself and try to get to know all of you amazing ladies.
I'm 25, my husband is 27. We have been TTC for over 4 years now. I have PCOS and am using metformin (1500mg/day) and will be starting clomid again this fall. In the meantime we have our three furry babies (Marley: german shepherd/mastiff mix, Max: boxer/lab mix, and Maggie: german shepherd/golden retriever mix) who we very much love, and spoil as our "kids".
Since this fall we're finally going "all in" with fertility treatments, I thought Id become active in this community again, and learn whatever i can.
Hoping the best for everyone here!

Welcome fellow Illinois lady! There are several of us from around Chicagoland, and I'm sure some from the rest of the state too LOL (Not to be a self centered typical "city girl").
I hope your stay is fairly short but since you said you were holding off treatment until fall you'll have a little time at least to get to know some of the lovely ladies we have here.
