Getting ready to start...again

Hello,
I am 29 and have been married for 10 years, together for 12. We have been TTC for about 8 years and tried our first IVF about 3 years ago with an early term m/c. I am from Indiana just south of Indianapolis and enjoy reading, going to school, and spending time with family and my furbabies!
I'm here hoping to share stories, get support, and get advice.

Melissa

Thank you

My husband and I just decided last night to start again. We haven't been to the doctor in a while but we are looking for another doctor that does shared risk. I love my current doctor but he doesn't offer shared. My biggest issue is that I am very very scared. The emotional turmoil I went through the first time was awful and don't think I could do it again without more support than the mountain of it I have already.
Thank you for the welcome. I will try to keep an update going as i see what great support everyone gives here.

Melissa

I'm 28. Married for 8 years. TTC 2+ years. Currently, I just finished my second cycle with injections/IUI. Taking a break for a month (so my ovaries can rest ). I LOVE to watch Hero's and Lost. I can't wait for them to start back up again. I live in Tacoma, WA. I am a middle school teacher, 6th grade.

I have just really enjoyed this IF community. You all are just so positive and supportive. Thank you!!
