New IVF sister - my intro

in Infertility
I’m looking forward to learning from you and sharing our IVF journey. I’m 45 (DH is 36), and I am just now starting the progress. It took a long time to find him. 😊 We’ve had the blood tests, myriad testing, SA, and I am now waiting for AF (any day!) so that I can go in for my baseline and US. Our first round is covered by insurance, thankfully. I want to stay strong and try with my own eggs first. Am I crazy or just blindly optimistic? I feel strangely confident in my little guys and want to go for it. We will most likely do PGS testing due to age too.  

I’m grateful for having found this community and will hope to return the inspiration you guys have given me. Prayers out for all of us!
