...when I first saw you" - Taylor Swift
For years we did all we could to prevent getting pregnant. Here we are, 17 years later, doing the exact opposite. My husband and I have been together since my sophomore year in high school (with plenty breaks over the years to experience others and live life). Two years ago we got married and have been trying to have a baby ever since.
On New Year's Eve 2009 I was told by the first reproductive endocrinologist I ever saw that my chances of conceiving a child were slim to none. What a way to start the year! Days of crying and weeks of research led me to Dr. D at Weill/Cornell's CRMI. He gave me hope...and lots of drugs. Nonetheless, IVF#1 failed.
With my hope still intact, I'm preparing for my second cycle. The first time around, I voraciously read every blog I could find on the topic. Some were funny, others brutally honest - all tremendously helpful. As homage to the women out there who post their stories for all to read and gain encouragement, I've decided to start my own. Here's hoping I can do the same for another scared girl out there. It's not as bad as you may think and you are stronger than you know.
