Infertility
introduction
I wanted to introduce myself and say hi- I am an egg donor for my sister who is a regular on this board. She suggested I start my own account so I can come on here and ask any questions I have through this process- she said you girls are the best and know everything! I am starting Lupron tomorrow, and I am super excited!! I am just figuring out all the lingo I see on here, thank goodness for the bump glossary 
Fingers crossed that I can help my sister finally get her BFP!

Thank you everyone for your kind words! It sure has been a long process but I couldn't be more excited to finally be one step further tomorrow. Crossing my fingers! My sister was right -- this truly is an amazing website with such wonderful & admirable women. I respect each and everyone of you for being so strong as well as supportive of others at the same time. Wishing you all hope, strength and perseverance in your journeys...Never forget that ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE and what is meant to be will find a way!
P.S. To my amazingly strong sister (if you happen to come across this)... I LOVE YOU and am rooting for you! I will always be here for you and never give up hope...you deserve this! Here we go!

As someone that is one her path to doing DE, I am amazed by your selflessness. What a great gift for your sister!
And we are here and will support you on your journey with the IVF process. I am also on Lupron right now (which for me is the toughest of my meds - just the side-effects).
Good luck!
