Hello my name is Jennifer. After a lot of pandering back and forth I decided to join this ttc forum since I feel it's the best fit.

My husbands name is Eddy and we have 5 kids, Emma 11 (my stepdaughter), Teri 9 (also my stepdaughter), Alex 8, Genevive Forever 16 days old, and her twin Lillian now 1 1/2. I do not ovulate on my own, and the twins were conceived with the help of clomid. I am also a type 2 diabetic, which does complicate my pregnancies. For anyone who doesn't know my story, I lost Genevive in the NICU at 16 days old from a disease called NEC. There is a link in my siggy to my Genevive blog, though it is a bit raw at times since it is where I blog about my grief.

As for TTC we are ready to start clomid hopefully this cycle (two weeks about) but if not then next cycle. We did do one month a couple months ago, but didn't get a BFP and I had to stop to get my sugars a bit lower. With type 2 diabetes I can't get pregnant unless my sugars are close to a normal persons or it runs the risk of a lot of complications and birth defects. It is very tough keeping them that low, so it is a lot to juggle finding the right combination for a healthy pregnancy.

Thats all I can think of for now.

Welcome to the ttcal board, its a wonderful group of ladies, supportive and warm. Nevertheless, I hope your stay here is a short one and you get your bfp as soon as your body is ready! Good luck!

I'm Amanda. I've heard your story over on the SI board. I'm so sorry for the loss of your beautiful DD. I don't O correctly either & have used Clomid. One cycle of Clomid actually worked last year but unfortunately we had a m/c. Well, Clomid hasn't worked since so we've graduated from an OB & Clomid to an RE & injectables so hopefully we'll both be able to get pg soon!

Welcome! I'm sorry for your loss. I have type 1 diabetes so I know how difficult it is to get those blood sugars where they are supposed to be. I hope you get a BFP soon and aren't here long.
