Pleased to meet you

I have been inspired by the camaraderie and support I have found reading fellow less-than-fertile's blogs, to document my increasingly long journey to have a second child. After our daughter's birth, we have had three miscarriages, discovered damaged fallopian tubes (who needs 'em anyway?) and are now, officially Infertile. I am currently waiting for another shot (no pun intended) at IVF (was canceled last month due to a stubborn, whore of a cyst) and am crossing fingers (and toes) to start stimming on March 6th. I never forget how lucky I am to have now 2 1/2 year-old A, and we cannot wait to grow our family.
