About

Hi, Im 31 years old, married to J, also 31 years old. We have been trying to add a member to our family for over 4 years. I have PCOS (not sure anymore), J has a varicocele with low sperm morphology – which means conception is a TINY bit more difficult than most of the general population. 3 IUI’s, 7 IVF/ICSI’s later (incl 2 DE IVF/ICSI) and FINALLY we are pregnant with triplets! Join me on the journey….
