Mikel & I have been married for a little over 5 years now and we decided after a year of marriage to start trying for children. Like many couples with fertility issues we were completely shocked when we were unable to conceive on our own. Infertility in simple terms is defined as "attempting to conceive without success for more than 1 year." Now that we have 4 years + behind us we more than qualify per the definition.
I was accepted to nursing school this year so we decided to consult a fertility clinic to make sure we did not miss our opportunity to have children if we waited the two years that school would take to have children. The doctors were really wonderful and pointed out that there is no time like the present and there are many factors contributing to a somewhat hurried time line for us. To say that the prospect of going to school and having to go through fertility treatments is stressful is quite an understatement !
I decided to start this blog to keep our friends and family up to date as well as provide myself with a therapeutic outlet when times get really stressful and hormones really kick in. LOL! Enjoy!
