    @ecologyphdmama Hey lady! Glad you came over this way only I'm so so sorry that you had to. Welcome welcome :smiley: Feel free to jump into some of the daily threads when you're feeling up to it. 
    People think we become mothers when we give birth but the truth is we become mothers the moment we start calling our babies to us in our thoughts, dreams and prayers. Some paths are short and some are so long that you can easily forget where you were headed.

    How I feel all of the time.

    @AdorkablePixie I don't know why my whole response didn't show..

    We just went to a new RE on Thursday. Basically started over. I'm taking progesterone and metformin for 30 days. I apparently have a very thick uterine lining. Labs came back today and I'm also not immune to measles. DH count was 12 mil and motility is 46% so we will start working on that. On CD1 I make the appointment to redo my ovarion reserve and HSG. 

    It has been a long process with very little answers unfortunately

    Ages (you and SO): I’m 30 and he is 32

    How many months have you been TTC? I got pregnant in January and miscarried last month at 7 weeks. This was my second miscarriage and we just started trying again. 

    What are you doing to get knocked up: Sex, sex, more sex and lots of sex 

    Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.) We met a year ago and have been together since. We bought a house last summer and now we are ready to add to our family. I’m a teachers assistant for pre-primary (pre school). My daughter Isla Jane is 4 years old and her father and I have been separated for 2 years. I have a husky pup and a cat who is always up to no good
