Hi ladies,
I have been reading all of your posts and kind of lurking on this board for about 9 months now and I guess it's finally time to introduce myself. My name is Danielle and my husband and I have been trying to get pregnant since April of 2012. Boy were we naive back then thinking that it would happen in 1 month, 2 at most. Here we are 9 months later, me diagnosed with PCOS and him with MFI. We went through our first IVF cycle in December with the result being a BFN. I honestly didn't think I would have taken it as hard as I have and I am trying to be positive. It's so hard to see friends get pregnant so easily and wonder why us? Why were we given this challenge. As we gear up for our first FET the end of this month, I am really trying to focus on being positive and being healthy both mentally and physically. Thanks for all the support and love I have read on this board. My thoughts and prayers are with each and everyone one of you in hopes that we may all have our happy endings.
