Hi. I have been lurking for about a year now and I finally decided that
it is time to introduce myself. I started lurking on the TTGP board, but
I quickly found myself coming over to the 3T board. I have been
diagnosed with PCOS and I do not ovulate on my own. I had my first
meeting with my RE in October 2013. The rest of my history should be in
my siggy (if I set it up right, that is lol). I am hoping to find, as
well as give, support on here.
I love to read, play video games
(especially ones with zombies in them), and to watch TV. I have three
really cute cats (I might be a little biased) and a wonderful husband.
My husband and I have been together for almost 7 years and we have been
married for a year and a half. We bought a house that we absolutely love
in July 2013.
