My 3 Year Journey

This is a blog for me to write about my journey with infertility. Writing (even though I do admit I am not the best writer) has always helped me with getting my feelings out and just feels better venting about my experience.

I will start from the begining.. About 3 years ago maybe even longer now Dan and I decided that we wanted to start a family.  We decided that if it happended great but we weren't going to stress about it. 2 years later and still not pregnant we decided it's time to see a Doctor to make sure nothing was wrong. Our first appointment was in October of 2010. Since then I have had been to seen 2 different Infertilty Specailists, had about 30 blood draws, 5 IUI (inseminations), one ectopic pregnancy, an HSG (which is an ultrasound to check the my fallopian tubes, 5 ultrasounds including a saline ultrasound which measures my uterus, 6 months of Clomid (a fertility drug assist is the growth of more than one egg), and one month of fermera (It does the same thing as clomid but without the bad side effects). It has been a tough road for both of us. As a woman infertility is a tough pill to swallow for all woman are supposed to reproduce. I have what they call "unexplained infertility". And just think some people can have sex and get pregnant! LOL

Well onto the next chapter.. IVF. I never thought I would have to go through this to conceive a child but at this point I will do whatever it takes to start our family. I am excited, scared, anxious, and overwhelmed. I started this blog for it helps to get my feelings out and to share my experience with you.
