Hi!

PurpleIris30PurpleIris30 member
in Infertility Veterans
I'm happy to see some efforts to revive the board.  It's good to see everyone again.  I started posting on the IF board before this board was created, so I've been here a while.  I've taken a cautious approach to posting here -- trying to actively support all my friends on here, but not posting a lot about myself here or starting posts about my cycle and testing.  I'll probably keep doing the same.  We've been dealing with our ivf future for four and a half years now, but due to financial difficulties we've been saving the $30k for our one and only ivf cycle.  I'm sensitive to the fact I don't have the cycle history of others, which is why I've posted the way that I have.  We all have our own battles and struggles.  Rambling aside, I like the revival and I'll do my part to keep responding to posts to keep things going.
Married 8/2008. IVF with PGD March 2013.
3/22 ER: 25R, 20M, 15F. 9 genetically normal, and 3 survived to Day 5
3/27 ET: transferred 1 embryo, beta 9dp5dt=163, 12dp5dt=639

    It was you, my dear, that I was thinking of when I mentioned those that have been around forever but don't have the cycling history due to lack of funds. You don't need to hang out with the newbies. It must be very difficult seeing everyone move and you can't even get started. Hugs and welcome.
