Hey ladies! Just a quick reintroduction, I am Alicia and DH is Mike. I posted here quite often a couple years ago. We did FET (after three years of TTC and lots of other MA treatment including a failed IVF) in May of 2010 and conceived our handsome DS Mason who is now 11 months old. We had our IVF restart appointment today and now I am super excited! We go the 17th for our calendar, and our retreival will be early March!
