Hi! I'm Laurie and I'm 41. DH and I started TTC when we were in our late 20's and sought help when I was 35 (hubs is 4 yrs younger than me). Numerous rounds of meds, interrupted by WLS, return straight to IVF, crappy eggs, embryo adoption, 2 FET's.... Here we are. 7 weeks pg today.
I am so excited, scared, hopeful, etc. the whole gamut. But I'm also so grateful to everyone who supported us to get here.
Thanks for the good reads and support. In the words of Annie..."I think I'm gonna like it here!"
❤️❤️

ME:46 MH:44 DE IVF 2014
Met with RE 4/11. 2 IUI's BFN. DE best option. Switched clinics to do "shared" program. Had to retake all tests and a mamm that put me behind and then on a DE waiting list for 12 months. Picked a donor!! (10/13/13) Got matched. Estimated transfer in December. After 2.5 years of patiently waiting I will finally cycle....can hardly believe it. DE cycle got cancelled. One of her tests came back positive. Waiting for another donor. Donor picked!! (1/18/14)
