Secondary IF

Birthmonther with secondary IF intro

Hi, I'm Courtney. I got pregnant as a teen and placed my son for adoption. With in a year I was diagnosed with PCOS. It is now 8 years later and I am TTC starting medical intervention this Friday. I never thought I would have to deal with IF and I feel so out of place. I have secondary IF but no child so it feels very odd to talk about. I have a huge C-section scar and know how much I enjoyed being pregnant but have never been a "mother". Personally I hope this group helps, sometimes the "regular" TTC and IF forms make me feel like I need to hide I was pregnant before. 

Me (30)- PCOS....
