My First ICLW

Hi everyone!

I want to welcome any new readers to my blog for my first ever ICLW. I only started this blog at the beginning of the new year, and am amazed at what a difference it has made in my life. It is comforting to read other's posts that so perfectly echo what is going on in my mind, an to know that I am not alone. It is inspiring to read about those who have had BFPs recently through IVF or otherwise. It gives me hope that I too will someday get the result I seek.

For newcomers, you can get the basics for my history by looking at my timeline to the side. But the quick summary is that I'm freaking out about my impending birthday in April. I will be 36. We threw away the BCPs just before my 34 birthday, and started strategically TTC about 18 months ago. We've had one BFP a year ago, was a chemical pregnancy and resulted in a miscarriage. We've been working with an RE for the last 6 months. We're planning one more IUI with injectables next cycle before we move on to IVF sometime later this spring if necessary. But before we do that, we're heading to London for a week to visit my perfect brother, sister-in-love (she coined the phrase, it's kinda sweet), and darling niece Lady C who will be 9.5 months old during our visit. I'm hoping to pick up good baby vibes instead of jealousy!

Lastly, if your name happens to be Jennifer like me, please check out this post. I'm trying to collect 27 of us.

I'm looking forward to getting to know more of you this week! (and of course staying up to date on the rest of you)
