Infertility

We've got snowflakes!!

edited February 2014 in Infertility
5 of them to be exact!!!!  3 day 5 and 2 day 6 blasts are waiting for us in Florida.  We are so excited.  It was a very difficult decision but I'm confident that these were meant to be ours.  I believe they found us instead of the other way around.  Now we just wait for CD1 and I'll start Estrogen patches :)
