I'm 32 and have been married to my wonderful hubby for 11 years. We tried TTC for almost 5 years and started IVF in June 2008. We have MFI and endo. So far we have done 2 fresh cycles, 4 FET's and have had 2 cancelled. FET #2 was a BFP that sadly did not last. Finally Pregnant after FET#4 in Oct 2009! (6 transfers in total). Due 10th July 2010. All the glory goes to God! He gives me the strength to endure this journey...
My little miracle was born in July 2010.
