Hey ladies..I'm taking the plunge and introducing myself. I'm 35 soon to be 36. About 2 1/2 years ago I was told that I would never have my own children. After 2 IUIs and a failed attempt to have an ivf, the docs were shocked when our iui as a consolation prize worked. DS is now a year old. At my 6 month checkup, my doc so eloquently told me that having a second child was also going to require a miracle and that I needed to get back to an RE and not to wait. In the big middle of this, we moved across country and I've lost my entire support group and beloved RE. We've been trying on our own for the last 6 months, but we have an app for the initial consult in January. Everything of value I learned the first time around came from the boards as a lurker so this time I wanted to be an active participant. Thanks for having me and I hope to give back also!!!
Welcome to the group. Congrats on beating the odds and having DS. I hope you can do it again. Good luck with the new RE. This is truly a great place to give and get support.
I've heard quite a few stories of experts telling women they'll never have children and those women proving them wrong. So, good for you for being strong and not taking their word for it and giving up. You've done it before and you could do it again.
