Welcome to all those participating in ICLW. Not sure how it will work out, but we'll see. I almost forgot it started today!! I'll introduce myself a little bit.
My name is Krystal, I've been married 8 1/2 years to my husband who joined the Navy shortly before we married. I have one son, Andrew, who is almost 4 1/2 years old who was a miracle of primary infertility (and one miscarriage).
Now we're suffering secondary infertility as well. We've been TTC since April 2007 without success carrying to term. I had a 6w2d miscarriage in September 2009 and a 8w3d miscarriage in May 2010. So... the wounds are still fresh. I'm trying to deal. I still haven't found out why I'm suffering RPL, the tests so far are normal - all I know for sure is I have PCOS, Vitamin D deficiency and Insulin Resistance (this diagnosis is old so I need to test again). All those make me higher risk for a miscarriage, which makes it tougher to want to try. But I want more children, always hoped I'd have a sibling for my son. I just never expected it would take this long...

About Me
- Krystal
- I'm 28 years old, married 10 years and counting to a Navy man, Aldon. I have two sons, who are the light of my life. I'm a Stay at home mom trying to become a Work at home mom. We have 2 cats who act like babies, unfortunately our 3rd cat passed away in March 2011. Finding a balance in life is a hard challenge, but I'm up for it.
Our TTC History
December 2001 - Married the love of my life
Beginning 2003 - Started TTC, stopped all birth control
End of 2003 - Diagnosed with PCOS after 9 months of not having a period, and other signs/symptoms
January/February 2005 - After two years TTC, got pregnant on clomid (four months after starting it) then miscarried at 6w
May 2005 - Found out I was pregnant, naturally
February 2006 - Delivered a healthy/beautiful son, named Andrew
April 2007 - Started TTC #2
Mid-2007 - Diagnosed with Insulin Resistance
May 2009 - Started Charting
April - June 2009 - Took clomid two months, didn't like the side effects so I went off of it.
September 2009 - Found out I was pregnant, miscarried at 6w2d. Husband left on submarine a week later.
December 2009 - Back to TTCA since husband returned home
Beginning 2010 - Diagnosed with Vitamin D deficiency
April/May 2010 - Found out I was pregnant, spotted for a week then had a gush of blood and went to the hospital to find the heart beat had stopped. 8w3d along, baby measured 7w4d. All my feelings and worries came true.
Back to the drawing board

Visiting and wanted to thank you for all of your kind comments over the past few weeks. Loss sucks, and miscarriage risk sucks. Good luck...
Thank you for visiting my blog and following. I'm always eager to find others with PCOS and IR, so I'm following you now as well. I'm sorry about your loss in May, we had losses around the same time. I hope that we both get siblings for our sons soon. Happy ICLW!
ICLW #23
Hi, thanks for stopping by my blog. First, I'm very sorry about your losses. After trying for so hard to get something and then have it taken away must be really devastating. I can imagine that secondary IF is really tough, too. Yes, you've got a child and you experienced the joys of pg and birth and motherhood...but why won't your body do it again? I haven't been in your shoes, but I can only imagine how difficult it has been for you. Second, to answer your question from your post on my blog...yes, Wendy's Frosty. It's like soft serve ice cream but in a cup that you eat with a spoon before it has time to melt into a milkshake. :-) Completely yummy!
Thanks for stopping by my blog. We both had losses in May :( Here's to hoping the future holds brighter days for both of us. Best of luck on your journey!
Kristin
Happy ICLW! Sorry to hear about your loss. Hope there is much to celebrate for you in the months to come.
Hello! This is my first time doing ICLW. I have really been enjoying "meeting" so many new people! Good luck to you!! :)
