The life of a fertility challenged stay at home military wife...

So i will start from the beginning... I met the most wonderful man in the world Febuary 15, 2008... We started dating March 13,2008 and things progressed fairly quickly we moved in together in April,2008 and were head over hills about each other ... my then boyfriend(Peter) deployed in June for 5 months, when he got back we were engaged and we were married September 19,2009 ... But even before we were married we had begun our TTC journey , i went off birth control in May 2009 i was worried we would have issues because i had never had regular periods , and was prone to anemia , i also had been diagnosed with Hoshimoto's Thyroiditis when i was 9 which can cause Infertility. So this journey has been long in May 2010 we were forced to take a TTC break due to me becoming severely anemic my h&h was 7.2 and my ferritin was i think 3 something , i took almost 6 months for me to get back to a normal range where my doctor said it was safe to start TTCing , but by this time we had orders to PCS to Minot,ND so we continued to ttc on our own ... We arrived in minot in January 2011 and i immediately set up an apt and say a infertility specialist in March 2011 after a HSG some minor blood work and a SA done on the hubby we started our medicated journey waiting for AF to show up then did our first round of clomid 50mg in July 2011 with no real results ., my next round of clomid at 100mg was December 2011 with no follicles bigger than 8mm, my next atempt with clomid i has cyst from the previous cycle that wouldn't go away so i was send to an RE i saw him summer of  2012 he told me that i wasn't getting pregnant because i was fat and stressed , i refused to accept this answer so i began my fight with my doc , with tricare and with minots clinic finally i switch to a gyno who is a god send,... he has gone through this journey so he understands... I also was able to get an apt with a new RE in Chicago i will see her in March 2013, soo everyone is finally caught up i hope ...
