About me: I'm 35 years old, and taught elementary school for 12 years. I have a Masters degree in reading. My husband and I are nerdy, and enjoy role playing games, video games, and sci-fi/fantasy TV shows and movies. We used to play lengthy board games (the kind that took at least 4 hours(.
My TTC journey: we were married in 2008 and gave up birth control in 2010. I was diagnosed with PCOS, and had my first BFP in 2013. Our son was born at the end of that year. We decided to try again at the end of 2014, and received our second BFP in April. Our joy ended in sorrow when I miscarried a month later.
Now: I'm currently in my fifth cycle of TTC. My cycles are very irregular (23-30+ days), temps are all over the place, and midcycle pain suggests active cysts again. Although we aren't seeking assistance for at least another month, I feel ready to join this community and hope to support others before asking for support myself.
