I guess I will start this backwards, and work my way to where we are now.  We went on a wonderful cruise for New Years, and brought the New Year in with the dream of starting our own family.  I stopped taking birth control pills on January 1st, and had this crazy thought that I would instatnly get pregnant!  Well, not quite!  After lots of trying and two long months with no period, I was disappointed to find out that we were not pregnant.  We continued to try and after another two months of no period and negative pregnancy tests I decided to go and see my GYN.  He did some lab work and determined that I am not ovulating regularly or at all.  He prescribed Provera to bring on my period, and Clomid for the next cycle.  While at that appointment, I had bloodwork done that showed my TSH levels were out of range.  Feeling very frustrated, I went to a general practioner to discuss thyroid issues.  The doctor I saw redid the bloodwork, and all throid levels came back normal.  That was a relief to hear, but I will be going back for rechecks to monitor the levels.
So, now here we are in May and I just finished my first (hopefully my only) round of Clomid.  We both realize it can take couples up to a year to conceive and we are keeping our chins up!  We know God has a plan for us!
