    About Me

    I'm 25 years old, live in Jersey City, NJ and work in New York City. My husband and I have been together for almost 9 years and our 2nd wedding anniversary is coming up shortly. We have been trying to concieve for a year and a half with no luck so far and have been seeking fertility treatments. I joined this site to be able to talk to others who have been facing this hardship for support. It has been a difficult time and I feel that the people who are going through the same situation can really help make this journey easier to get through! I have tried at first to talk to friends, but that has made me feel worse because a lot of the people I know have had unwanted pregnancies and think that having a child is the end of their lives. I do not want that kind of negative force in my life with what I'm going through. I am hoping to gain support and friends from this website! :-)

    Interests

    I love the color pink, which is why my nickname is Pinky! I love animals so much, cute furry critters can always put a smile on my face when I'm in a bad mood. I especially like Pomeranian dogs, Persian cats, Teddy Bear hamsters and baby Harp seals. I love doing arts and crafts, reading, and watching movies, and travelling to new places.

      Treatments

      Clomid Somewhat Helpful
      I have been on this for only one cycle and did not ovulate which made me extremely depressed because my doctor was saying how I'd get pregnant right away. I was moody when I was on this and saw some weird halos of light which were side effects stated on my prescription.
      Folic Acid Working / Worked
      I started taking Folic Acid before my husband and I starting concieving and very hopeful that it will help the baby to be healthy when we finally concieve.
      Metformin Not Working
      This is supposed to help regulate my insulin levels and tolerance. My doctor prescribed this because it was supposed to make my periods regular. I was on this for TWO months and then I got my period. I have to take 3 pills a day and they make me so sick. Very bad diarrhea stomach pains vomiting and it has also made me turn away from a lot of food because I get too nauseous. So I'm going through a lot of discomfort and I feel like its not even helping me get regular periods.
