TTC (passively..."let's see what happens" mindset) since March '10
We're now kicking it up a notch! I feel like I'm on a mission... Tracking cycles monthly, Ov. testing, etc...I'm learning that I'm much more impatient that I thought, and honestly have been putting a lot of unnecessary pressure and worry on myself (especially since we having been intentionally trying for a significant amount of time...but I'm hanging in there.
TTC since July 2009 / HSG Normal / Missed m/c - Feb 2010) / 4 IUI's = BFN / May 2011 = IVF & BFP! Betas dropping...but we have FAITH that we will one day be parents!!!!
