Hello all,
I'm new to this board, and to IVF. A quick background...Hubby and I have been TTC since 2010. Last year, during a cysectomy, Doc confirmed I had endo, which had destroyed both of my tubes. So after lots of waiting for new insurance plans and such, we're finally starting our first IVF cycle. I began injections this past Saturday (happy 30th birthday to me..), and I guess if all goes well, ER will be sometime next week. My next u/s is Wednesday.
Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm looking forward to chatting with people going through the same thing. My family and close friends have been really supportive, but it's not the same as talking with people who really understand the emotional roller coaster of all this.
