I am 34 years old and my husband, Andy, is 39. We have been married for 12 years, and tried to conceive for nearly 7 years through female and male factor infertility. After 7 IUIs, 2 surgeries, a miscarriage, and 3 IVFs/ICSI, we welcomed twin boys March 5, 2012 thanks to donor egg IVF/ICSI. Thanks for supporting us through our journey to the center of my uterus!
