Hello!
I have been off and on the Bump since 2009. Unfortunately, due to technical difficulties, I have had to change Bump accounts. (My last account shows under two separate user names...I post under one profile and its shows up as another?! No idea. But, I can't change my avatar on the profile that shows up and I am sick and tired of the pregnant lady beside my name. Thus, the new account!)
Anyway....we have been TTC since 2008; had a FD in 2009; Lap and HSG in 2011 showed Stage IV endo and both tubes are blocked. Our RE consultation is on April 9th. We are a bundle of emotions, but definitely ready to move on to IVF.
I am generally always a lurker, but if I have questions during this journey I hope that I can ask them here.
