Hello!

in TTC After a Loss
Hello ladies, I'm Aves and I'd love to join your board if you'll have me!  I've been on 3T since February, and now that we are back to TCC I'd like to join over here.  My history is in my siggy, but in case you are on mobile....DH and I are both 29 and we have been on the TTC roller coaster since January 2013.  After a year we headed to the RE where we basically came out with an unexplained diagnosis, although they did find that I have Hashimoto's.  Fast  forward through the testing and we were shocked with a BFP on our first IUI cycle with an EDD of 1/15/15.  Well it was short lived, betas rose good in the beginning but then slowed.  We managed to see a heartbeat, but miscarried naturally not long after that at 6.5 weeks.  We've been benched since then, but just got the go ahead to try an IUI again and I start my clomid today. 

A little about DH and I.  He works at a pharmaceutical company as a biochemist and I work at a zoo as conservation educator/zookeeper.  I am a huge bird nerd, the little guy in my avatar is mine, and I love him like crazy.  I also love to be outside, drink iced coffee and watch ridiculous high school drama shows on netlix like Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill.

I have lurked on this board for a while and read the TTCAL blog, and I am looking forward to hanging out with you.  I'm sorry we all have to be here, but I find so much comfort in being able to talk to other women who have gone through the same thing.  Only a couple people IRL life know about our IF and our loss.  Sorry this was a little long.  To say thank you for reading I've attached a pic of one of my adorable co workers. He is a Fennec Fox asking for some belly scratches:)
