Two lesbians- starting the journey

hey all,
My wife & I just went to the fertility clinic to learn about our options & figure out our steps on starting the process to get pregnant!
Just wanted to post on here to ask if there's anyone out there like us on here!
It would be helpful & so nice to talk to some others.
Happy Wednesday!
