The first step...

We might as well just bear our life here on our blog for everyone to read, it seems to be a good place to do so. And while doing so we will take you through our roller coaster we call our life...

I suppose there is no need to discuss what we've been through in the past...so we'll just talk about our future and go forward from this day... But in case you are wondering...A few sperm samples, a few ultrasounds, a few vaginal ultrasounds, much too much blood work, and the most fuckin painful thing in the world, an HSG!

So the first step to what you ask?

Well we have been trying to concieve for well over 4 years now, and no such luck. But luckily we have our first appointment at a Fertility Clinic. It isn't in our hometown, it's actually just a 3 hours drive to another city. The wait time was a lot shorter than where we live. So what does that mean?

We aren't exactly sure ourselves...We are going for some ultrasounds, and semen analysis', and then after tests, and an info session on IVF, we will meet with the specialist there to discuss our options. We've read the pamplets on IVF and it is quite costly. (Makes you wonder what we pay health care for)! So hopefully our first option will be IUI, as it's a heck of a lot cheaper.

We don't know what to expect, but we are both excited to hear the options, and in the mean time we don't mind the trying part. ;-)

We've been having a tough time dealing with the whole infertility thing. We don't talk to our family about it, nor our collegues, nor our friends because not everyone understands infertility. There are a lot of ignorant people out there.
How do push on? Well the internet is a powerful thing. And there are many other couples going through the same problem as us. It's so nice to have a support group online that can talk about the same problems, and support eachother...

I guess that's all we need to post now. We'll check in with you all tomorrow if there is anything of note to mention.

All our love,
Tucan
