Our Baby Making Experience - it's not what you're thinking

Where to start, where to start?

Kory and I have had a long and rocky road to building our family. We have two angels in heaven and we're hoping they send us a baby to hold in our arms very soon.

It has been one year, three months, and nine days since we found out we were pregnant for the first time. Since then we've had a miscarriage, D & C, ectopic pregnancy, two doses of methotrexate, an unexpected day of hemorrhaging, a laparoscopy and hysteroscopy (with a diagnosis of stage IV endometriosis), six months of Lupron (medical menopause), and a hysterosalpingogram (with a diagnosis of two closed tubes). All of this lead to our decision and need to go with in vitro fertilization.

As of today (May 8), we’ve selected our doctor and had some hormone testing done. We meet with the doctor May 20 to decide what our next steps are and hopefully to set up our timeline. We are keeping our fingers crossed that we’ll get to start the process in June.

We plan to blog our progress through the process, and probably occasionally vent some of our emotions. For those of you tracking our trip, thank you for your prayers and please, keep them coming! The last year was very difficult, but would have been close to impossible if it hadn’t been for all of the support we’ve received. Thank you!
