After our 3rd IVF cycle in December 2011, we are expecting one little lovebug!!!
We are in our mid-30's and have been TTC for 7+ years. The experience has been challenging, frustrating and heart-breaking. However, we are stronger today than yesterday, and will be stronger tomorrow than today.....God willing.
