Torontogal! I'm SOOOOO happy for you!! I was just cruising through this thread, because I like going through it for inspiration and I saw your name and sat up in bed and yelped!! I'm saying to DH, "It's Torontogal! From my IUI group!!!!" He has no idea why I'm so excited!
Yay! I'm so happy this worked out for you! And on the first try. That is so great!! Our IVF (prayerfully) will be in August, so keep for us, ok?? I pray all goes well for you with this wonderful pregnancy and that you have a safe delivery and a happy, healthy baby (or two!) Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!!
