March 2011 thru July 2011 - Countless Tests and Re-tests of Both Me and DH. Many Visits to RE, Urologist, PCP, and Cardiologist. Innumerable Tears and Heartaches. With Trepidation, Decide on IVF, After All.

November 2011 - Go to Resolve New England Conference. Attend adoption and donor egg sessions. Start leaning towards donor egg, and researching clinics.
December 2011 - Get psych evaluation done for donor egg recipients at current clinic, but start leaning toward out-of-state clinic for actual cycle.
