  I have a clinical social work license, but I'm not currently practicing. I was mostly employed in child welfare/ adoption, but did a short time in a hospital L&D postpartum unit during our IF struggles and miscarriage...horrible idea!! I'm technically still employed as a contract worker and they could call me to write adoption or foster care home studies, but I haven't accepted anything since the boys were born.

  TTC in 2009, Dx: Unexplained IF

  Three TI cycles (BFP...miscarriage), five IUI attempts and 2.5 IVF cycles later...BFP!!
