Hello! It's been a few years since I've posted on the boards (mostly DD's birth month board) but I'm happy to see that this may be the place for me right now 
I'd like to start contributing to discussions, so I figured it was best to offer an introduction.
I'd like to start contributing to discussions, so I figured it was best to offer an introduction.I'm 33, DH is 34, and DD will be 4 in March (no difficulties TTC #1). We started TTC #2 in 10/2013. I had several long cycles around that time, which isn't unusual for me, and attributed them to stress from moving to a new state and starting a new job. Then I had 3 anovulatory cycles in a row that were each less than 20 days long between end of Jan. and March, and went to see both my OB/Gyn and PCP. Even though my blood work from a few months before had been normal, they discovered that my thyroid levels were elevated (I had a hemithyroidectomy in 2008 and have taken a low-dose of synthroid since 2010) which was likely causing issues with my cycles. My dosage was adjusted and my OB/Gyn put me on BCP for 3 months in the hopes of "re-regulating" my cycles while getting my levels back to normal. Since I went off the BC in June, my cycles have been regular and I've been ovulating (yay!). Unfortunately, no BFP yet. DH had his SA last month and everything was great. I saw the OB/Gyn on Friday and we decided that the next step is to call the RE tomorrow.
I know that I'm lucky that both DH and my mom are understanding and supportive, but I know there are things that I feel that they just can't understand (and that I hate to continue to burden them with). I'm here in the hopes that when I get those feelings of disappointment, frustration, excitement, sadness, bitterness, hopefulness, hopelessness, yada yada yada, that maybe there are others here who understand the rollercoaster of crazy that I feel like I'm constantly going through! Anyway, looking forward to getting to know you ladies and offering any support that I can (although hopefully it will only be for a brief time on this board for all of us!).
