Well, we're back at square one. What do I mean by that? It's a long story. Here's it is.
Almost eight years ago, we started to try for a family. Like many others, we assumed it would only be a few months before we would get a positive on the home pregnancy test and our child would be in our arms by the end of the year. But things don't always turn out the way we thought they would. After a year, we didn't have a child and became part of the dreaded 10-15% of couples that are classified as infertile.
We went to three different doctors to try to figure out what was happening. After another year, three doctors, intrusive exams and dozens of blood tests we had a diagnosis but no solution. We were referred to a reproductive endocrinologist. We tried IVF w/ICSI. Our first round resulted in a negative. We tried with some of our frozen embryos and got a pregnancy but miscarried at nine weeks. Our last few embryos resulted in a chemical pregnancy. We were absolutely devastated.
