Intro: TFAS in Africa
Mnerani

Hi ladies-
This is my first medicated cycle trying for #2. I have PCOS (cysts and no ovulation, no other symptoms).
DH and I live in Kenya and are very happy here. We have most of the same treatment options that are available in the U.S., and an RE that we feel really comfortable with. There are some pro's with TTTC here (treatment is way cheaper) and some con's (all the meds are imported and can be randomly unavailable). Overall, we feel hopeful as we start this process again.
Looking forward to participating in this board!
DH and I are Americans living an adventure in Kenya since 2011
