Hi Emily,
I just wanted to welcome you, and to say hang in there. I wish I had
some advice to give you but I am still trying to figure out things about
myself. If it gives you any comfort, and I hope it does; remember you
are not alone!
As for your questions, I am 32 and have never gotten pregnate (although
I have not tried invitro or fertility pills yet) I am trying the lose
weight angle because I have come to terms with the fact that I may never
have children : (
I have never heard of ovaried being like rocks?? What's that about. I
know mine are " Over Enlarged"
Well Take care
Alicia
