Happy November ICLW!

Happy November ICLW everyone! Not sure what ICLW is? Head over to the Stirrup Queen's website to find out.

A quick introduction:

I'm Aislinn, I'm 24 and married to my wonderful husband, Keegan who will be 26 in December. We are currently living in Mississippi, but we're both originally from Missouri (well, I'm originally from Canada, but that's another story...)


We currently have three cats 

Mika, who we adopted in February, 

Carbon, who we adopted in August, 

and 

this little man who we rescued adopted from our neighbors two nights ago. Anyone want a kitten?


As for the baby makin' stuff, I was diagnosed with PCOS on September 4, 2012. For the past year, we've tried au natural with the help of Metformin, but so far, no baby. The past two cycles, I convinced my OB/GYN to put me on Clomid, but still, no baby. Yesterday, we had our first appointment with our RE who we absolutely love. If this current cycle doesn't result in a pregnancy, we are doing a cycle of Letrozole (Femara,) trigger shot, and IUI in December. 

If you want to hear more ramblings about my lady bits, I'm also on Facebook and Twitter. 

Thanks for stopping by!

    Hello :D I too have PCOS... We started with our TTC journey on clomid since I knew I already had PCOS. I just did my first cycle of Femara with a trigger shot and had my beta drawn today! Good luck with your journey!

    Hi from ICLW! Thanks for your intro - I like your photos. Good luck this month. I don't know how you've handled clomid, but I've had much easier times with Femara as far as SE go. Fingers crossed you don't need it!

    Hello from ICLW. Good luck with your IUI! I too have PCOS and had a long journey to motherhood--but in the end it's all worth it!
