I never in a million years thought me and the hub would be able to do IVF with being OOP. Today was just my day three fun stuff (not) But FSH was 4.8 and I had 15 on the right and 20 on the left. We start Birthcontrol today! I hope and pray everything will run this smooth through out IVF... highly doubt that, but a girl can dream for one day! lol
Happy thursday to all you wonderful girls out there. I am so so so happy I have found this board and truly wish the best for everyone here!
