Hi,
I wanted to introduce myself. I may have posted an introduction on another another thread months back.
I'm 42 years old and will have my FET toward the end of the month or early March.
Although my dh and I haven't been TTC for several years like many other couples (1 1/2 years), a lot has happened during that time. (Getting referred to a fertility clinic, all the tests, 3 iuis with follistim just to meet ins. requirements, myomectomy, insurance not approving ivf even though the dr said that was the only way I'd get pregnant, 3 ERs, and now awaiting my first FET. Just getting to this point in my life and in the relationship has been an accomplishment (and emotionally exhausting), so I've been going strong the last 1 1/2 years. Although all of tests, surgery, and procedures have been intimidating, I feel like a stronger person because of it. I look forward to this next step and reading about other women's experiences.
