hello! I'm new the discussion board. Me and my husband have been TTC for two years now and a couple months ago we found out the only possibility is IVF. We took the couple months to figure things out and now I have been on birth control for two weeks and will be starting meds in another week before retrieval end of June. I'm super nervous but excited. I've been looking for people to talk to but no one seems to understand. After reading about you guys on here I don't feel alone anymore. Good luck to everyone and hopefully we won't be here long but I'm glad to meet everyone and get through this together.
