Infertility

Infertility SUCKS! Never did I think not being able to get pregnant would be so hard... I would not wish infertility on anyone. It is the most lonely, confusing, emotionally draining, depressing, expensive situation ever. Having children is something that is natural- or so I thought.

Nick & I started "trying" June of 2009. I expected to become pregnant right away... everyone else I knew did. WRONG! We just kept plugging away while sitting back and hearing everyone around us announce their pregnancies. Finally in February (2010) I went to the doctor to discuss our issues and the pains I had been having. Several tests and one surgery later, I was diagnosed with stage 3 endometriosis, stage 4 being the worse. Our doctor thought it would be best to try inseminations. We tried 3 and then were told we had a less than 1% chance of having a baby. On to Iowa City...
