I am ready to introduce myself after weeks of lurking this board because my wife (36) and I (35) are finally ready to try to have a baby. We are both really excited to be at this point after having been together for ten years and married for almost five years. My wife plans to carry, if all goes well, and our first appointment with the fertility specialist is tomorrow morning! Because we can count on one hand the number of people who know about our plans, I am almost bursting with excitement, and it's getting difficult to keep this secret. So, I am looking to find a community of support (and, to cheer on!) to begin this journey. I really look forward to getting know all of you, and thanks for listening! Good luck to all of you!
Thank you, everyone! Our appointment was Tuesday, and my wife had prenatal bloodwork and an ultrasound to make sure everything is looking good for IUI. Once we've selected our donor, we'll be trying at her next cycle.
