Waving and throwing my ball into the game :-)

Okay so I thought it would be a good way to introduce myself since game 7 is on :-).  My husband and I have been trying for a child for about 2.5 years.  We will begin IUI most likely this month.  It has been an extremely emotional journey the past few years.  I am so tired of hearing the "just relax and it will happen".  Many well meaning people in my family even have baby gifts packed away for us.  A little about me..I am 34 going on 35 (uggh), have had radiation as a child so egg quality is still pending and do not ovulate regularly.  RE suggests Clomid with 3-4 IUI cycles and then IVF.  Not sure if we will do IVF (affordability and emotions).  I just wonder if there is a point that none of this works and I have to accept that I won't be able to have children.  Sorry for the long intro.  The past few days have been tuff so I thought I could chat with a few of you ladies.  :-)  I look forward to talking to you in the future.  It is great to have a community that understands and goes through the same emotions and frustrations.   
Live like there is no tomorrow..Love like you have never been hurt...

    Thanks for the friendly welcome everyone.  I really look forward to talking and hearing about each of your journeys.  On a side note, I think I want to change my photo from my and my husband to my dog.  Does anyone know hot to change photo's?  When I put this on a few years ago we had to put in code but it looks like it has all changed.  Thanks again for the welcome!!!

    Welcome to the board.  I am so sorry for your struggles.  The saying "just relax and it will happen"  annoys all of us.  Some people just don't understand.  Seems like your RE has a good plan.  I hope your stay is short with us!
