Can I come play?

in TTC After a Loss 6 Months+

Hello ladies!  I have been lurking since before my 2nd BFP in August, so I recognize most of you, but just in case most of you don't know me:

My name is Allie.  I am 23, as is DH, we have been married since Sept '09.  We had started TTC about 3 months before our wedding (I know we were silly and young, but I just had a feeling we would have an issue getting pregnant, and I was right).  We tried for just about a year and a half on our own, and during that time my always 29 day cycles became irratic, with sometimes 10 weeks in between cycles.  So OB figured something was up and had no issues referring me to an RE where I have been for about a year now.  

So far I have done 6 full cycles of Clomid (3 cycles off due to cysts, 2 bfps, and 2 cycles off due to recovering from losses) and I was on my 7th one this month when I didn't respond to clomid.  At my follie check 6 days ago they decided to put me on 5 days of Femera and I have another check on Friday.  Monday was the 6 month Anniversary of my first loss, and I had a really bad day, but I feel a bit better now. 

I am not an every-day poster.  I work 10 hour days, 4 days a week, and on those days don't have too much time to get on, but I ususally can scan the boards once a day to see if there is anything big.  But I feel kinda out of place on the board lately, as I don't know a lot of people anymore, so I figures I would come crash your guys' party! 

Also, the other day on my way out of work I notice an Indian lady that had a wooden elephant on her desk.  I can't see elephants anymore without thinking of you ladies, and when I looked closer, I saw the hollowed out inside had a BABY elephant in it, so I thought it was special and I would share:

    Welcome.  I hope the femara does the trick for you!  I love the elephant photo - I actually have one of those carved from stone that I got about 15 years ago.

    Welcome, Lovey!  I was wondering where you disappeared too.  I felt the same way about being "out of place" especially with my hectic schedule and all the new faces.  I'm sorry you have to be here, but I'm glad you made your way over here.  *hugs*

    I love the elephant picture....and the symbolism.  *hugs*
