Hello from Boston! (warning child mentioned)

edited December 2016 in Infertility

Hello to the Group! I'm Andrea and I started my infertility journey about four months ago. After having a billion questions, I figured I'd get myself some support besides my poor RN (who I love, but don't want to burn out). I'm a 39 year old medical technologist in Boston.  Married to my husband of 3 years.  We have a 2 year old together and were very surprised to find this time around our fertility had taken a turn south.  We both have issues contributing to our infertility.  We are just hoping for the best. Taking it day by day.

I hope to learn more about everyone here and their journeys through this process.
