HI ladies, I've been lurking and watching and yet too embarrassed to about my IF to intro myself. So a little background. We've been trying with an RE for 2 years. As I June I had surgery to take a peek around. ... RE ended having to remove a serious case of endometriosis. Apparently, my ovaries where encased in scar tissue. But I digress. Well, before I could do my post op consultant there was a fire and we had to move to a new city. Now to the present. It took me a couple of weeks but I found a RE in my new location. Today was my initial consultation with the RE. Now I already had all my records forwarded to the new Dr. So as we begin, I got some news that I wasn't quite ready. Apparently, there is no other option for us but IVF. I feel defeated and excited at the same time. We are moving on to a new chapter in our IF, and should be on the December-January IVF cycle. My emotions are still all over the place about moving to this stage. So, there's my background story and my frustrating day which is why I'm finally posting. A little personal about me. I'm 33 type 1 diabetic. Engaged to my King. Y'all can call me panther
