Just introducing myself

Hey everyone
I'm Kristel, I'm 33 years old, and I've been with my fiancé Marco, 39, for 33 years. We've been trying to get pregnant for about 6 years now. I should mention that I have Type 1 Diabetes, so there was also a period where I wasn't allowed to get pregnant until my blood sugar was stable.
But once that was achieved, we tried on our own for sure 2 years without any result, unfortunately.
But in December 2020, we contacted the hospital again with the gynecologist, and on January 20th we had an appointment. I first had to have blood drawn, and luckily everything was fine, including my sugar and thyroid (I also have an underactive thyroid).
After a phone call with the GYN after 2 weeks, I got medication to induce my period (I have a very irregular cycle) and became menstruating on Feb 28th... this one was quite intense, and I also got Letrozole which I had to take from day 3 to day 7. On March 11th, I had an ultrasound to see how my egg was growing; luckily it was already 18 mm at that time, and they said it would rupture within the next 4 days.
And that was correct too; last Monday, March 15th, I had my ovulation and we had a nice time.
But now we have to wait, and if there's one thing I can't do, it's waiting.
I find it nice to be able to share my story sometimes.
