worthwhile - fibroids and infertility

A compilation of information and experiences as I try to conceive my first child. After a vasectomy reversal. With poor sperm morphology. With a fibroid and after an abdominal myomectomy. Now a new mother of a cute baby boy. Documenting the better part of two miscarriages, 3-1/2 years of infertility, research and testing and my successful pregnancy and beyond.
