Trouble TTC

Coming Out of The Closet

Hi All!  After lurking for far too long, I thought it was time to introduce myself.

My TTC story (abbreviated version): I have been diagnosed as anovulatory.  Clomid did nothing for me.  I just finished my first round of injectables and IUI, which resulted in a BFN.  I am gearing up for round 2 now.

A little bit about the not TTC me: I love exclamation points, over analyzing and margaritas.  I shamelessly throw birthday parties for my dog.  I am long winded and don't have much of a filter.  I am constantly striving to simplify my life, find the humor in every situation and embrace the moment.

Thanks in advance for letting me join you girls!
