Our Journey: Moving forward

Moving forward

I had my follow-up appointment today and I am happy to say that the rest of the tests turned out fine and there are no more tests to be done. We just have to wait a few more cycles and then it's back to trying again. I have to start my baby aspirin, folic acid and prenatal vitamins again now. Hopefully we will soon have a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby to bring home.
