About Me
- Name: Mellie
- Location: New York, New York, United States
I'm 34 years old and a native Bostonian living in the Big Apple. My husband is 35 and in October we'll have been married for 5 years. I've been trying to get pregnant since May of 2003. Who knew it could be so hard? We've done 3 IUIs with me on clomid and 4 IUIs while on bravelle and one IVF that resulted in zero fertilization of 17 eggs. Next up - IVF #2, now with ICSI!

Congratulation!!! She is beautiful!! I hope labor wasn't so bad. Can't wait to hear the rest of the story! BTW, coincidentally, Leah was our girl name too if Benjamin was a girl! Also, I wanted to let you know that my DH is now working in NYC and we are moving in April/May!! Maybe in the near future we can connect and our kids can play together! Take good care of yourself and enjoy every moment!!

That is all. I will stop stalking you. For Now.
Congrats. It's been a privilege getting to follow your journey. Having perspectives on both female infertility and male infertility helped support my partner and I as we are TTC.
Best of luck in the coming years and please share as your family grows!
