The hardest thing is loving someone and then having the courage to let them love you back.

About Me

Tim and I have been married for 3.5 years, together since high school. We have our days and I take him for granted A LOT, but I am definitely blessed to have him in my life. We have a healthy, strong marriage, but there is still something missing - a baby! We've been trying for a long time, and quite frankly, it's getting on my nerves. I have endometriosis, but I was always told it was a mild case and we'd have no problems getting pregnant. We found out last year that I also have PCOS, polycystic ovarian syndrome. So, the endometriosis kills the sperm from the get-go, but the one or two that might survive have nothing to shoot for b/c I don't have any mature eggs being produced. Instead the eggs are being lazy and hanging out in my tubes, turning to cysts. We did three rounds of insemination with me jacked up on hormones. This did nothing but mess up my liver. We had to wait until my liver was back to normal - six agonizing months with every pregnant lady within sight. We are now starting IVF. Yep, we will be trying for a test tube baby! We are very fortunate because our insurance pays 99% for infertility treatments. We have the love and support of our family and friends to get us through these hard times. We have 3 nieces and 1 nephew who are our world and our loves right now. They are precious, and I cherish every moment I get to spend with them. They have told us they are our babies right now! I love those kids so much! And they are going to make great free babysitters one day! LOL!
