6 years ago today Mr. Peevme asked me to be his wife. Actually, he never asked me "to be his wife" which is a bone of contention to this day. What he asked is, "Would you make me the happiest man in the world?'" I assumed he meant by marrying him but I could have gotten it wrong and he was too polite to correct me. Well, too late now sucker. But really, what else could he have meant? I'm clearly such a catch!
There is just something so solid about that man, about our marriage. Things have not been a barrel of fun around our humble abode lately. Actually things have been down right hard but I never doubt us. We are just "in it".
6 years ago I promised him something..I'm still not sure what it was but I know for darn sure we are happy together despite these past few challenging years. Maybe not the happiest person in the world but certain on our block.

TTC History and current status
Trying since Jan 2004 when I was 33. I have one Daughter who is 2. Trying for another baby for over a year. One m.c and 2 IVF's later we are preparing for IVF#3 with Donor eggs. . I am 38.
Diagnosis= unexplained..but what that really means is poor egg quality.
FSH
April 2008: 11.8
March 2008: 10.7
November 2007: 6
November 2004: 3.9
Considered a poor responder but I have gotten OHSS on inject/iui cycles. Go figure!
