Welcome ICLW Readers!!!

So I'm a ICLW virgin, but I am so excited!  Anne over at The Second Bedroom told me I should sign up for this month so that I can meet some more bloggers out there struggling with IF.

So let me catch you up in my story.


Hi! I'm Becky, I'm 27 years old and I live in a suburb of Minneapolis, MN.  My husband and I have been married for three years (gosh how time flies!!) and we have been TTC for almost 16 months.  We started our TTC journey with the knowledge that I have PCOS, so we've been using fertility meds  since we started.

Blurriness aside, this is one of the best pictures of us...

So, my husband and I have done many cycles of Clomid (I didn't know well enough to see that I should have seen a specialist after 6 failed cycles with Clomid).  I started seeing a specialist at the beginning of October, and I absolutely LOVE her!!  My husband's labs are all fine, and she switched me over to Femara.  This is my first cycle on Femara.

I'll get back to my current cycle, but I first want to mention that we don't have ANY infertility insurance coverage, which SUCKS!!!  My IF MD has been nice enough to code some of my visits and tests a little differently, so my insurance is covering some of the costs, but I'm still paying for a large portion of them.  We are still doing meds with TI right now... Next time I go to the clinic, I plan on asking when/if we'll be moving to IUI.

Ok, this cycle- It's 13 DPO and I go in tomorrow morning for my beta.  I've been having some weird symptoms the last week or so- EXTREME fatigue (like, I wake up in the morning feeling like I didn't sleep a wink!), my boobs are a little sore (they NEVER get sore when I'm PMS-ing), and every night when I lay down to go to sleep I get super nauseated.  I'm trying to not read too much into it, but I can't help but get a little excited.  

So that's my story!!  Thanks for visiting!!!
