Adventures with Infertility

My wife and I have been trying to conceive for nine months now. Needless to say, we have not as yet been successful. We are certainly not in as bad a situation as many others are, but neither is ours a happy one.

So, after some discussion with her over the last few weeks, I have decided to write about the experiences we have had and will be having. Part of my reasoning, I imagine, is to help me deal with the situation, and I am sure another part of it is to share the experience with others so they can get a closer look at what some couples have to go through to start a family, if they can at all.

The first step will be putting together an entry detailing much of what we have been through so far and our reasoning for deciding to try and start a family together. That should be coming in the next few days.

I wish the two of you well in your endeavor to bring in a little one. It can be trying, waiting each month to see if that little pink line shows up or not.

Whn my wife and I tried a couple of years ago, right before we reached the point of going to a doctor to check what might be causing problems, she became pregnant. It took a while for 10+ years of being on the pill to clear out of her system. We're now expecting the 2nd one soon.

So, while realizing that yes, there can be problems that aren't easily corrected, I hope a simple thing like patience turns out to be the key for you two. If not, then I hope there's something easily doable for the two of you to expand your family the way you wish.

The actual email address is being displayed (albeit hashed to an extent in the HTML) in the first comment where I didn't put a URL. I was getting spams to that adx until I killed that adx.

Any responses can be sent to the email address I entered after adding '.2' to the first '.org'.

Thanks, and again, good luck in expanding your family.
