Infertility Veterans

The day has finally arrived...

I am scheduled to start stims tomorrow!

After 6 wks of BCP's...i'm thrilled to stop those.  Of course the usual fears are creeping in.  All of the "what if's".  And i have to dust off a credit card to pay for DH's mTESE.  So tomorrow will  be a fun day :/

This has been such a long time coming, i have a lot of mixed emotions.  "Let's get this over with, this is doomed, could this work, this has to work"...

You know, all of the usual fears EEK!!!!
