Facing Infertility

I had waited and dreamt of having a child my entire life and wanted nothing more than to be someone’s mommy. I never expected to have problems with becoming pregnant as none of the other women in my family had before me. After several years of trying to conceive, we knew it was time to seek help. For us to discover the root-cause of our problems, we had to look for a fertility specialist. I had endured months and months of grueling testing. To say I was overwhelmed was an understatement. I would go to the doctor's office on a daily basis, getting ultrasounds, doing bloodwork, etc. Once all of the results were in the doctor sat down with us and gave us our options to aide in solving our problem.
