I'm Christie -32. Diagnosed with PCOS. Trying for 17 months. DH diagnosed with MFI: low count and morph. RE and Uro confirmed today that our only option is IVF. I am in shock and DH is in denial.
I had been holding onto hope that it would not come to this. I look forward to getting to know all of you better (I'm learning so much from your blogs) and welcome any recommendations of books/websites/etc.

A website I recommend is stirrupqueens.com...there is a huge blogroll filled with infertility blogs that have been really helpful to me. The organizer/ writer of that site also has a great book "Navigatig the Land of IF." Hope that helps!

Welcome & sorry you have to be here. Hopefully your stay will be a short one.
Welcome!!! I also have PCOS and hubby has borderline morphology problems. We are doing IVF also - it's scary, but exciting. I am sure it was shocking to hear this outcome for you and DH.
I wish you success!
