Hello everyone.
I am so very new to these boards, and I haven't even started any treatment yet ... just have appointments scheduled.
But in the few days I've been reading this board, I've been crying - sometimes sad, sometimes happy - almost non-stop when I read this board!
So much hope. Amongst all these stories are embryos implanting and being lost. Missing heartbeats, sometimes found, sometimes not. Tests that are wrong. Finally getting pregnant, only to lose it a few days later. Finally getting pregnant after a decade of trying. Stories of miscarriages and lost babies.
I know I will be here on this board for the months ahead. But I also don't know how I will manage it. I'm crying just as I type this - and I haven't even seen my share of heartbreak yet.
And though I've been here only a few days, I want to give so many of you hugs ...
I've never been so moved by reading other people's stories ... <sob>. I'm so completely serious here.

Me: 31 Single gal after 7 year relationship
For 7 years he said "not yet" to baby. So I finally left him.
Issue: early menopause (late 30's) for mom, aunt, etc. Hope it's not too late for me.

Yep, my favorite word for my 10+ years of trying to have a baby and all the procedures is "roller coaster". There are so many ups and downs...happy & sad news...hopeful at times and hopes crushed at others. It's definately a journey that I wouldn't wish most people to go through. Yet at the end when I finally get to hold my babies (in probably about 2 months for me) I will be so happy. I will never forget what I've been through to have my babies and I think I will cherish them even more because of it. To me, they are true miracles. We have a strong connection...us ladies that have been through this. You'll find this message board a tremendous support for you! Good luck in your "journey" as well!
