Hi guys!
My partner and I have been together for 14 years. Though we don't currently know of any Fertility problems at this juncture, we have stared to get the ball rolling for our first cycle of Reciprocal IVF. My partner will be donating her eggs for me to carry. This has always been a dream of ours and we always 'planned' to go the Reciprocal IVF route for kiddo one and then just artificial insemination for any siblings. When we went to our consultation I was luckily in CD 2 and doc was able to do an ultrasound and blood draw. She said that I am recruiting early and added more extensive testing to be done. So, we may need some intervention for any other kiddos as well.
Mostly, I am posting this here since there are a lot of you going through the same IVF procedures. I will of course be posting in the LGBT section as well, but I need more interaction/advice/support for the IVF side, I think.
Looking forward to getting to know you all!
