Intro TTTC...

Hello everyone!
I been member of this community for a very short time, I was recommended from the Trying to Conceive community to come and have a look here since I been trying for over 19 months.
Well first thing, my name is Luz, you can notice that my English is not excellent and sometimes it will be understandable but there are still many words and acronyms I do not know so feel free to correct me since instead of getting offended I will appreciate it deeply 
I am from Cancun, Mexico. Moved about a year and a half ago to Texas and yes, I know people always ask me why but believe it or not my hubby didn't want to move to Mexico since his Spanish is "no bueno" and his family lives here in Texas so.. I grabbed my luggage and my two furry babies and here I am! The change has been very difficult since is not very easy to leave everything behind and also I am not having lots of luck making new friends. At my work I am surrounded by younger people I have nothing in common and even when is nice to have them around I wish I could meet someone that will match more my interest hehehe. What else I can say about me?.. well I love sweets, music, moscato, reading and chilling at home with my hubby and my babies Pancho and Lola. We been trying to get pregnant since March last year. First we decided to leave it to mother nature and not to worry about it, after few months of no luck I started to panic, Im 32 years old and I know is not too late but I started to worry that something might be wrong with me. 3 years ago I went to a OB in Cancun since my periods were not very regular and I started with metformin which actually helped me regulate them but somehow I worried there might be something else there. I went to a RE and we started to make test, they gave me clomid 50 mg which I been taking for 6 cycles already, 2 cycles ago they also gave me the trigger shot but hubby ended sick and we really didn't have too much action lol... This month I also did the trigger shot and I am currently in the TWW (which actually is been over 2 weeks but anyway lol). I am excited to meet some people is going to the same path, I know is not easy, it is scary and also frustrating and some days I just feel so depressed but I keep praying, I know there is still hope and I keep myself focus on that hope and the dream of holding my baby on my arms which keeps me on this road. I admire all woman who been through this because I know how it feels and how strong we need to be.
Well after this long intro I would like people to share their experiences with TTTC, how you manage to keep on track, what treatment are you into, how your body reacts to the meds (I know every body is different but still), anyway, I want to give you ll the support and even when we might only know each others through a website and we only get to text on a forum I know we can be friends
As I said I am on the TWW, I am waiting to see what my body decides to do this time since I been having the worst cramps ever for the past 9 days (which sucks since I never ever had a cramp grr...) I triggered on Oct 27 and ovulated either 28 at night or 29 (I am not sure but those 2 days I had sore breast) I tested 2 times I believe 11 and 12 do with BFN so I gave up and now I am just expecting for AF to show so I can plan my next cycle. I am still learning how to chart and next month I am excited to start temping . Any advices will be appreciated!
Thank you for taking your time to read this and best wishes for you all!
