best of luck and happiness to you, your wife, and precious baby girl.
Havent shared here for a whole but had some good news to share. One year 7 months out from my I/O my wife just gave birth to our beautiful baby daughter. My message to those just going through it is that good things come after TC even if you can't see it now.
