I used to post a lot on local boards. Not so much anymore.
I have a perfect daughter who is 4. Got pg third try. No issues. Perfect pregnancy.
2011 I lost a baby at 20 weeks.
2012 lost a tube due to an ectopic at which time they found a tumor in the opposite ovary and had to remove the whole thing. So now I have a tube and an ovary on opposite sides
I have just failed my first IVF cycle (welll my Beta is 5.9 and AF is here so I'm calling quits.)
Back to the drawing boards.
Anyway, it has been a long road and am needing support.
