Hello, my name is Erica and I'm a 30something

ttc102002 · #1 (**permalink**) 09-25-2006, 07:21 PM

(Hi, Erica!). It sounds like I'm joining AA!

Some of you may know me from the old days on the Clomid board. Or, the IUI board. Or, the Injectables board. Or, the IVF board. Yeah, I've been all over the place!!!!!!

I popped into the Clomid board to say Hi on an oldies thread and they were hinting at this board. I finally did!

My daughter, Peyton, will be 8mos on October 4. Where did that time go?

I'm currently on Estrace (for a total of 5wks) and will be adding Prometrium into the mix the last week for

. I don't do that on my own, nor do I grow eggs on my own and I need all the help I can get. DH and I are TTC#2 as soon as

comes. I'll be stimming (box o'meds is set to arrive tomorrow!) shortly thereafter and away we'll go!

I had my tubes fixed back in Jan 05. There were adhesions pinning the little buggers to the pelvic wall (or as I called it "cobwebs in my empty womb"). A Lap was done and that tissue was lasered off and now we're okay to do IUIs.

So, that's my story. If you're really really bored, you can check my old chart link for the novel of my fertility issues. But, it was already summed up in my little intro here and in my siggy as well

.

I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

, Erica! I'm glad you found us over here (at least it shows that someone is reading the Clomid board...it's sooooo slow...not like it used to be when Whitney and Sheryl hosted it years ago and I can't seem to get it up and running!) I'm Kelli, one of the hosts, and Janay (hopeful gal) is the other!

This is a really great group of girls on this board...we're very supportive! Feel free to ask any questions.

We have a chatty thread so jump on the "chat wagon" anytime you feel like it!

again!

Hi Erica!!

I already post with you on the IVF chatty thread, and would love to see you stay, but I think Andi is talking about the 30-something parenting board, so if that is where you want to be with all the old clomid girls, then that is where she is talking about. You can join us here too. We love having new ladies

Janay

Hi...lurking. Just wanted to say thanks to Kelli. I used to host the clomid board many many moons ago.

Good luck everyone! I will be ttcing #3 soon.

Sheryl....Thanks! WOW...#3. Tons of

to you! Love the pics of the family! Are you still a SAHM with the daycare business?

Erica...where did you go?

slk70 · #8 (**permalink**) 10-01-2006, 08:08 PM

Kelli- Thanks! We plan to ttc Jan-Dec next year. If we aren't blessed by Dec then we stop...I will be 37 (yikes) next June and don't want to go past that. We are thinking if god wants us to have a 3rd we will- otherwise we are thrilled with our 2 boys. We are expecting a 3rd boy so this isn't to get a girl.

I am running my home daycare- 6 weeks now and have fallin' into it nicely. It can be hard at times- but also tons of fun. So days I am hopping all day and some are a bit more relaxing. I do get to hug and kiss my boys throughout the day and that is worth it for me. I get to hug a few others too- which is nice too.

How are you doing?

Sheryl...that's great news about the daycare! I'm glad you're enjoying it and it has be great being able to have the kid with you all day! I'm happy to see you trying for #3...I remember everything you had to go through! I'm doing good...trying to get pg again after the m/c in Feb. No luck yet...I've had a lap done in Aug. to remove endo (which was a total suprize) and cervical stenosis so my IUI's aren't so painful. I'm doing IUI's with the OB until the end of the year and then if I'm not pg, I'll be off to an RE. I probably should have went to the RE earlier but my insurance covers hardly anything so we're trying the cheapest route as many times as we can.

Feel free to start posting with us again when you TTC. We'd love to have you!

I am sorry about the m/c. I wish you tons of luck with the IUIs. It really stinks when insurance doesn't cover it. So hopefully you succeed quickly.

I'll be back soon...when we are ready to ttc again. GOOD LUCK! I'll be lurking.

I'm here, I've just been getting over a cold. DH got it, passed it on to Peyton and then I got it, too. Ugh!

Still on estrace and it's getting annoying. 4 pounds, headaches, you name it!
