Allow myself to introduce..Myself.

Apologies if this is long.
Hey ladies. Looking for a little bit of support on my TTC journey! I've done a little bit of lurking, although it's hard to get through tons of threads! I solemnly swear I'll continue, but I thought I'd introduce myself first! I have PCOS...All the classic symptoms other than being over weight. My DH and I have been TTC for a while now, with the help of Clomid and Metformin. My cycles are every other month, so my Clomid rounds are few and far between (at least it feels that way). Last AF was in December (out of town so no Clomid that month). AF was late in February, test in early March was negative. Then finally got my BFP at the end of March. I was 7w2d at my first sono (2d after my BFP). Um helloooo! I was shocked and obviously beyond ecstatic. I had been on a strict elimination diet, and I feel like I owe my pregnancy to this. I went to work at 9w4d, and had a gut feeling that something was wrong. I'm a cardiac critical care nurse, so we have a tech on our unit who does echocardiograms (sonograms of the heart) and I had her take a look (knowing she used to work in OB). Sure enough, we couldn't find a HB. The next day I was in my OBGYN office discussing options. We decided on a D&C (horrible experience) and had it that afternoon (April 16th). I lost a part of me I didn't even know existed that day. I have a 5 YO DS (conceived prior to any indication of PCOS), he is absolutely my heart, but the empty missing feeling I have now could never be filled. I don't know what I would do without the support of my DH, but being part of a group of ladies who have experienced this as well as others who are TTC would be amazing! Sooo that was really long. Woops. Mkthanks!

Re: Allow myself to introduce..Myself.
And I'm so sorry to hear about your loss! Pregnancy loss is just gut-wrenchingly sad. I know a lot of the ladies here, myself included, have been exactly where you have, and as devastating as it is, I think it helps to have a community who understands. Even if we're talking about something completely unrelated, it's comforting to know I have so many friends here who really "get" my journey. Are you temping? Are you familiar with FF & TCOYF?
Glad you're lurking. Definitely read the guidelines, and definitely definitely read "If you could tell a newbie anything..."
I hope this community is a good fit for you!

I'm so sorry to hear about your difficult loss the last few months. I haven't been in your shoes, but can imagine it would be very painful on many levels.
I hope you enjoy our sarcasm and community. Keep lurking and join in. I was always afraid to join in, but once I did I felt so much better. These women are strong, supportive, caring women! We just like support in return.

I'm so sorry for your loss but welcome to this board and good luck!
I'm overwhelmed with the love, girls! Thank you so much for welcoming me... I'm going to keep getting my creepy lurk on and throw myself into the mix!
Welcome to TB. I also have PCOS. I always think it's nice (not the PCOS obvi) to know other people on the board who are going through something similar. Good luck to you!!
