Hi! I want to reintroduce myself. I was a member on here (through The Knot) for over 6 years, posted something about a month ago and got my feelings hurt (boo hoo), and decided to call it quits on here. Since then, I've been a creepy lurker and have been dying to get back in the community.
I wanted to say THANK YOU for helping talk me out of making the dumb decision of taking Clomid unmonitored. You ladies were right about it and the harm I was probably about to do to my body. I ended up not taking it, and now I'm on CD24 playing the waiting game again for O and AF to show up after being MIA for 6 months. Probably finding a new doc soon who doesn't pass out Clomid like candy, but I'm going to be patient until that time.

I have died every day waiting for you. Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years. And all along I believed I would find you, time has brought your heart to me. I have loved you for a thousand years. I'll love you a thousand more.
Welcome back! I'm glad to hear you decided against the clomid and advocated for yourself. I agree with PPs, it says a lot about you that you came back, owned up to the rough start here, and want to jump back in. Good luck!
Welcome back. You'd be surprised how many of us started out by posted something and getting flamed. It's worth it.

Trying to have baby #1 since April 2013
DH SA March,May 2014 - Low motility and shape issues. On vitamins per RE to help
Me testing April 3, 2014 - FSH and LH good, HSG showed blocked right tube
April 29, 2014 - First RE appt., right tube needs to be removed and possibly left also if

June 13, 2014 - Post-Op appointment. We decide where to go next since main issue
is MFI influenced. Trying naturally until decision... Repeat SA in September. Aiming for IUI #1 November 2014.
