Welcome! This blog has been created to help me cope with the emotions that I have been having struggling with infertility. I am also writing it because I would really like to keep track of the ups and downs of this journey.
My name is D and I am 32 years old. I have been in a relationship with my husband J for 12 years. We have been married for almost 3 years now. I love J with all of my heart. He means the absolute world to me. We met in college. He had been a roommate of one of my high school friends. I get goosebumps thinking about the first time I laid eyes on him. Ahh, young love..... Anyway, he is my soul mate and I am so blessed to have found him.
We knew we had wanted to have kids, but we also knew we needed to be financially ready for that. So, it took us some time after our wedding to figure out when the right time would be to start trying. Last April I stopped taking my BCPs knowing that it might take a few months to straighten out my hormones. In July, we officially began TTC. I am a planner, so I had research the ins and outs and all the details about how to conceive quickly, etc. I also knew that because I am a teacher, having a baby in late April or May would be ideal (to coincide with summer vacation). So it was on!
Well, as the months went on and there were no BFPs, I became more upset and depressed. It didn't help that during this time several girlfriends who were TTC and several who were not ended up getting pregnant. While I was happy for them, I couldn't help but be really upset that I wasn't. I really had no idea what was in store for us....
