Well, I guess its official that I am now a blogger since I am typing my very first post . . . woo hoo!! ;) My initial goal of this blog is to use this as a tool to help myself sort feelings and to journal the events that are about to occur in our life! Cody and I are one of the many unfortunate couples - which is 1 out of 6 -couples who will face infertility issues. This blog is to let our family and friends know of our journey and to one day in the near future (fingers crossed) follow our family as we grow!
Our journey started in August of 2009 with the hopes of starting a family quickly. After several months of trying - yes charting and spreadsheets were in the mix for those of you who know me so well; we decided to seek medical advice. In December 2009, we went to my OB and discussed our charts and a plan of action as to explanations for us not having conceived by now. She sent us to a specialist and after several months (six to be exact, but whose counting?!) of appointments, many crying sessions, and one scare of a possible tumor; we have made the decision to proceed with In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) to start our family.
Cody and I have been brought closer together as a couple throughout this entire painful and extremely stressful process. But, the end result will be worth it . . . a beautiful baby!
Yesterday we started our oral medications, and this Sunday marks the date for the first shot! I plan to blog about the process and the ultrasounds along the way. Sharing all the wonderful news as we receive it as well!!
With all that said . . . . we are on our journey!
I am so happy you are doing this can't wait to read it!! Love yall very much and praying for yall!!
