Hi Amanda
Nice to meet you too and thank you for the kind words and suggestion.
I don't mind answering that at all. In fact I was about to write a short introduction here when I saw your post so I might aswell do it now
This is my story summed up.
My DH Nathan and I met last year while I was living and studying in Oslo. Shortly after he returned to the states we were shocked to discover that I was pregnant. He'd been told he couldn't have children due to low sperm count, and I had resigned myself to a future without any kids because I was suffering from what was thought to be CFS for half my life. I knew though that I couldn't abort our little miracle, so we made plans to make it work.
As the pregnancy progressed it was clear something wasn't right and I became very ill. I had countless trips to the ER before I miscarried at around 10 or 11weeks and nobody could tell me what was wrong with me. During that time I found a lot of comfort reading these boards.
After a slow recovery I left Norway and came to the states to be with Nathan. He brought me to his doctor and after one meeting I was diagnosed with Pernicious anemia (b12 deficiancy) and quickly treated. It has left some permanent nerve damage and such, but I feel better than I can ever remember and I've got my life back now
In addition to the PA I was diagnosed with Hypothereodism when I was 15, but in my case it seems to have gone away. A little confusing since I'd been told it was a lifelong condition, but very grateful. I hope it won't return with pregnancy.
Now Nathan's varicole (which in his case was causing the infertility) has vanished aswell and we're so thankful. We've decided we're ready to start a new chapter of our lives together and we're actively TTC #1. While I still grieve that loss, I know now that children are in the cards for us after all and that is such a huge blessing.
So that's my story. I look forward to getting to know you ladies and learn yours

to the group (sorry for you loss that brought you here though (((((HUGS))))))... I just saw your post in the "roll call" & noticed you said you have an autoimmune disorder which you guys have fixed. Can I ask what it was/is? I hope I'm not being nosey but I was curious since I have one too, a very common one... Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, in other word's I'm hypothyroid due to my immune system attacking & killing my thyroid. 
I also noticed you're new... there's a board for autoimmune disorders if you ever wanna check it out... 
Of course, we m/c at about 11 wks & I am still waiting to be able to officially try again. The dr will prescribe Clomid again in my Oct cycle... I can't wait! I wish I could take it NOW! I'm so ready!
