Intro

Hello,

 I wanted to introduce myself- I'm PinkSpark and my DW and I finally selected and ordered our frozen sperm and can't wait to begin our first (Unmedicated) IUI in May. It's been a bit trying as we are avoiding tell our family that we are going to try to become parents!

Looking forward to lurking this board so I (And DW) don't feel quite so alone in this process!
