I don't either. Man, that is creepy about ST. Writing on internet message boards is supposed to be for fun. It is really icky to think somebody'd eff with your real life over something said on a message board. :(

One correction: they didn't do invitro fertilization. I thought they did for a long time, too, but one time I said something about it being IVF to Kelly and she explained what happened. What they did was intrauterine fertilization. It's a lot alike in that she was on meds to stimulate ovulation and all, but once she ovulated they injected her honey's sperm right into her uterus, instead of taking out the eggs and fertilizing them in the lab and then putting 'em back (which would've been invitro fertilization.) She said if the intrauterine fertilization hadn't worked, the next step was going to be IVF.

Good luck to you guys, RW.

Sorry, sis. :(
