We were married in 2004 and started ttc a few months after our wedding day. I always felt that something wasnt right...and I was correct.
In 2006 we saw an RE and every test said we were fine except hubby had some "little guy" issues but it was easily fixed and achieving pregnancy should be easy with medical assistance.
We tried an IUI and it didnt work, took a few months off and then it happened. We got a bfp all on our own after 2.5yrs of trying! We were so happy and so thrilled. At exactly 12 weeks I found out my baby was no more and had been gone for a very long time. I opted for a d/c and I remember waking up from the anesthesia sobbing that my baby was dead. I wasnt the same after that and I became VERY devoted to ttc w/MA.
we did a few more IUI's and got BFN's..we tried IVF and thats when we found out that our embryo's were not developing like they should. It was a BFN. another IUI BFN..another IVF another BFN..I was told my eggs were of very poor quality and I would most likely NEVER get pregnant again...less than 1% chance. I was devastated. Couldnt function, by this time we had been TTC for 4 yrs.
We started looking at embryo adoption and foster adoption. We even took foster adoption classes in the summer of 2008. A few weeks after our last class I found out I was pregnant again. I was terrified that something would go wrong with this pregnancy too..and worried the entire time. I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy named Bryar.
We still really wanted to adopt though and it never left my heart. We attempted another IVF cycle this past October but once again..BFN. We decided enough was enough...we are moving ahead with adoption.
We are going through our local foster care agency and are trying to adopt a little girl between the ages of 0-5. Its going to be a long hard road as we also will be fostering children but it will be so worth it.
Hopefully in the next few months we will be licensed and able to take in our first kiddo!! We cant wait!!
