Hi everyone! I checked in to the trial when -Passion- first listed it and was not quite ready but now we (dh and i) are in agreement that we are ready for IVF. So my question is if anyone knows if they are still recruiting for any of the IVF Studies. THanks. I looked on the Center of Reproductive Medicines website and called the number. I just wasnt sure if they had trials still going on.

HOLY CRAP Kristen!!!!
That is so amazing!!! What a true miracle from God!!
I was out getting my nails done when my mom called to tell me the news and I couldn't wait to get home and read it for myself!

I have said it all along- you are my inspiration since we both did both the 2 studies and have had different results. Maybe I will follow in your footsteps!

Sheri- How was your transfer?
