Hello ladies.... I've been posting (and still will) on the IF board since June. I stalked the boards for over a year before posting. I felt I needed more support then my family (which is great) and my fertile friends could give me. In the 6 months I've been posting there, I hope I have been supportive to the women who find themselves on this rough journey. In those 6 months so many new faces have come and gone. I'm happy for those who are lucky enough to only be here for a short time, but feel I need the support of women who have been on this journey for some time and really know & understand the heartbreak of numerous failed cycles and losses. I have responded to posts on this board, just haven't started one. I hope you will have me. My history is in my siggy.

Hi ladies... thanks for the kind words and warm welcome. I will be starting the patch on CD 21 (today is CD2) with stims starting mid January with a retrieval, if all goes as planned, by end of January. If this cycle doesn't work, we will move on to donor eggs.
Mrs., how are things going with you? I know you have your donor all lined up. When will all that take place?
