Infertility

Intro

Hello! I am just now coming back to TB and wanted to introduce myself. We have been trying for close to 6 years, and in about 2 weeks, we will begin the meds for my first round of IVF. Im really trying to apply a positive energy, and I remember how supportive this network of women were before. I look forward to getting to know everyone!
