The Beginning

I hit the jackpot. I met the girl of my dreams. The most loving and beautiful person inside and out. We started dating and on the second date I knew she was the one. After six months of dating I asked my father inlaw for her hand in marriage. 18 months later it was a done deal. We were living a great newlywed life. We had a beautiful one bed room condo in a major metropolitan city. We had great jobs and were making great money. Things could not have been better. I was living my dream. However, it felt like it was time for more...



Was it time to get a dog? Was it time to move to a new place? Was it time to start a family? Or all of the above.



I think at first I was content with getting a new place and maybe a dog. I figured kids would come down the road. I figrued it would be fun trying to make a baby. How could I complain? Everything seemed to move in motion. We sold the place and moved to a bigger place, but we skipped the dog and started to try for a family. That however did not go to plan. My wife started experiencing intense adominal cramps and discovered she had endometriosis.



Endometriosis was causing the severe cramps and discomfort, and it was also hindering our chances to become pregnant. So, we decided to try to work with a Reproductive specialist and try to solve our problem. We made our first appointment and sat down and discussed my wife's condition. He explained to us what endometriosis does and how it affects our chances of conceiving. He explained that with In Vitro Fertilization we can get around the endometriosis issue. So we opted for IVF.



IVF is not a simple process. It really takes an emotional toll on a married couple. This blog is going to chronicle my experiences through IVF. Thank you for reading...
