T-TTC since Dec 2008. PCOS/nonexistant cycles(anovulation) and endo. HSG in '10 revealed both tubes blocked. Lap surgery in Dec '10 to correct. Failed Clomid/IUI and injectable(Bravelle)/IUI cycles so far.
Re: NOTD Monday
Ellie is ok, but not something I'd ever consider. Not a fan of Harlow at all. Love Ophelia, but wouldn't use it.
Emmett is ok, but not for my kid. Thatcher sound pretentious to me. ADORE Jude, but it's my nephew's name
