Let's Start This Thing......

So this is my first entry! I am excited and nervous, I wanted to start this blog to help me get through the process I am about to undergo. I think it will help me get my feelings out and deal with what ever may come. So here is my background story.....
Married in 2001 we waited until we purchased our first house and our finances were in place to start a family. Only we have tried and tried and have never even had so much as accident or a miscarriage nothing. Not that I would ever want a miscarriage but at least I would know my body is trying? So we have been trying since 2005, in 2006 we moved to Texas and I started seeing a Reprodctive Endocronologist in 2007. We did two IUI's with him and nothing. In 2008, we moved to Georgia I found another doctor here. And she reviewed all my testing and records and said that we had a 5% chance of conceiving on our own, that we could try another IUI but the better bang for the buck would be to undergo IVF.

And so ensued the quest! First, I had to convince my husband that we indeed needed this and had to spend this money. Not a very easy task I assure you. But in the end he has agreed to go down this path me and I have agreed to let it go if it does not work. So thank you anyone who reads this, and I also hope in some way I can give back what others have given to me. I would search for blogs like this and read them intently to see the happy ending to give me hope. I pray that I can do the same for someone else who is where I am now!
