Another Newbie Intro

MustangChicMustangChic member
in Trouble TTC
Hi all! I've been lurking for a bit and decided to take the plunge today. :) I figured you might want to know a little bit more about me before I go posting all willy nilly! ;)

I was recently officially diagnosed with PCOS and now have an appt set to meet with an RE. I'm 29. So is DH. We have a few animals and hobbies that keep us entertained, but we want more. Hence the exploration into what's going on with my body and the eventual diagnosis.

I've learned so many things from this group already and I would love to try to give back! This group provides such a plethora of knowledge and support even though TTTC is such a b*tch.

This was where I was planning to leave a plate of cookies to share, but I'm posting from the app and I suck. :)

Hope you all have a great weekend!
