About Me
Ive been married to a Navy corpsman since 2004, and we've been trying to get pregnant the entire time. I've been diagnosed with PCOS, a bicornuate uterus, and he has a low sperm count. Our surrogate "children" include 2 cats Aflac and Rex, a southern alligator lizard named Oscar the Grouch, and an american pitbull terrier named Toni. Toni is currently in training to become a service dog to assist me with my social anxiety, and even with rudimentary training she's excellent at her job and knows what needs to be done. Our cat Rex is my special boy, he is autistic and has mild mental retardation along with an equilibrium imbalance (he falls off of things while sitting still), but I love him dearly because he's so special. Aflac is our half-feral scaredy cat/cuddle bear. He doesn't do well with strangers, but LOVES his mama and has to cuddle with me whenever I sit still for more than 2 minutes, and he looks just like a little teddy bear. All 3 of our "loose" pets (the dog and both cats, the lizard is caged so not a "loose" pet) have road construction type nicknames because they love to hang out in the middle of the walk way, and they range based on the size of the pet in question. Rex is our smallest (15 lbs), so he's "speed bump", Aflac is the middle weight (17 lbs), so he's "road block" and Toni is the heaviest (60 lbs), so she's "detour". And the funniest thing is all 3 will answer to their respective nicknames! By the way, that's Toni with Doc and I in my profile picture, that's all of us on our way to the corpsman ball this year.

Close Infertility
Type: Hormonal DisordersMy husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for the last 5 years and between being told that he has a low sperm count (but is still fertile), I have PCOS, I'm too fat (my first doctor told me to lose 20 lbs and I'd get pregnant, I did, and I didn't), and that I have a bicornuate uterus working against us, it's been a very frustrating and heartbreaking journey.
Treatments
- Clomid Too Soon to Tell
- I was just given the prescription for Clomid last week, and I have to wait for my next cycle to start it. I'm so hoping that it'll work, I've waited 5 years to reach this point.
- Metformin Somewhat Helpful
- My cycles have regulated and I've lost a little weight since being put on it, but that's about it.
- Ovulation Predictor Kit Not Working
- It told me my fertile days, but either I didn't ovulate or the kit was broken because nothing happened.
Close Anxiety
I'm attempting to recover from debilitating separation anxiety regarding my husband, I've also got some social anxiety that I have a dog to assist me with.

Open Military Families
I am a proud 3rd generation Navy wife married to a corpsman and looking to make friends with other military wives who aren't like some of the the gossipy bitches that I see here on the base where I live.
