Finally, I found a new fertility clinic in Manhattan (www.centerforhumanreprod.com) where the doctors addressed the fact that my auto immune disease might well be impacting my ability to get pregnant. I will always be grateful to Dr. Barad for his gentle understanding. However, it is now April and I have endured many injections, moments of hope and bitter disappointment. The details of which are still too upsetting to blog about. Long story short, we’ve stopped the ivf and Matt and I are working at putting the fun back into our lives. If you have an auto immune disease and you want a child, my advice is to absolutely start trying sooner rather than later.
