Hi. I havnt posted in quite awhile. Figured I'd introduce myself again since it has been so long
Im Carrie. I'm 28, going to be 29 March 2nd. I'm from Duluth, MN born and raised. My DH is Josh. He turned 30 December 26. We have been together 14 years March 6 (I was 15, him 16) and married almost 8 years (June 13, 2008). Highschool sweethearts. He is my best friend.
We have been actively TTC since June 2011, so almost 5 years. Never gotten a BFP. We have never prevented pregnancy, even in our teens. I thought we got lucky that we didnt get pregnant as teens, but now I think it was telling me something.
I have been working with a dietition to lose weight in the hopes that it mite help. DH needs to lose weight too, but he hasnt decided to yet.
I have a history of multiple ovarian cysts (1 that was surgically removed), but do not have PCOS. We have done a total of 10 cycles of Clomid. Next step is Letrozole, but we both need to get our weight down a little more before trying that. But then we still have to come up with $1200 each cycle out of pocket.
I have some medical conditions that have made TTC difficult at times. Most of which are getting cleared up. I also had Major Depressive Disorder and Major Anxiety Disorder. But the meds Im on keep me stable. And have been approved by my OBGYN to continue during pregnancy. I also see a psycho therapist routinely. He helps me alot!
Our diagnosis is Unexplained Infertility. All my tests and DHs tests are normal.
We have a dog named Ace. He is our baby. We love him so much. But its not the same as having a biological baby, a human baby.
All I want is to get pregnant and give DH a baby. This journey is hard. Can be extrememly hard. But having a support system can help. I dont hide our struggle. I talk openly about it. I hope that taliing about our struggles, our pain will help someone else. If it helps even 1 person, its worth it.
