An Intro...

in Infertility

Hi! I've been lurking for a bit and have been posting a little over the last few days, and thought introductions might be a good idea Smile.

We've been TTC for two years, both my DH and I are 35. When we started this journey, I didn't expect that it would be easy due to my family history (I'm a clomid twin), but of course, I didn't expect it would be this involved either. Our diagnosis is DOR and MFI. We've done a couple of natural/ medicated cycles, 4 IUIs (3 w/ letrozole, 1 w/ letrozole  & bravelle). This month is our first IVF cycle. In fact, I am headed in for our ET in a couple hours.

Hope I didn't run on and bore you. Have a lovely day!
