Hello! I am new to this thread after FINALLY realizing there was a forum for other parents like us. My amazing wife and I were married a year and a half ago and excited to start a family. After 7 times of trying to concieve using a known donor and at-home insemination I finally had a sticky bean 12 weeks ago. We are heading in for our ultrasound tomorrow and are soooo excited. It is awesome to meet everyone on this forum,!
