Our Story

My husband and I got married in June 2001. Husband is 36 and I am 30. In August 2003, we decided that we were ready to have a family. We wanted it to naturally happen. We simply were not going to take preventative measures. It was all in Gods hands. After trying for 9 years, we decided to get a little more serious and started using OPK's........Still NOTHING! I remember the day very clearly that we decided that we were going to get more serious on making our dreams come true.

 

In November 2010, my husband and I were driving home from a friends house and he told me he was ready to have a family. Clearly I knew this was what we had worked for over the past 9 years, but to hear those words come out of his mouth were devastating. I felt I had done something wrong. That I was the one keeping us from having a family. We decided that night it was time to get some medical investigation started. The next morning, I called a Reproductive Endocrinologist and had an appointment scheduled the following week. During our first visit with the RE, he ran some of the basic tests, and they came back normal. I had a HSG done, which was very unpleasant, also showed normal. My husband was told he had "super sperm" and  my hormone levels, were once again, normal.

From there we had a consultation with the RE and he tells us its not a matter of if we get pregnant, but how. We decided to take the next step and schedule our first Intrauterine Insemination (IUI).
