This is my second attempt at archiving our journey through the world of trying to conceive our child together. This journey started in August 2010 and is still going. The road is hard and long, but Sheri and I both feel that it will be worth it in the end. Some may wonder at our sharing what is a very personal experience, but if our journey can help anyone else struggling to have a child, it's worth it.

A bit of hope
No posts in a while, and I must admit we were getting a bit down about the situation. We've been given a bit of hope, though. Sheri's work is switching insurance providers at the start of the new year, giving us the chance to try IUI again, and we've switched reproductive endocrinologists. In the past month or so, I've been MRI'ed, wanded, poked, pricked...put through the standard fertility testing gamut. So far, the test results have come back far better than I ever could have hoped for. The uterus is still heart-shaped, but not bad enough to need any surgery. My bloodwork all came back at normal levels, and we're still waiting for the results of the big one - my ovarian reserve. Dr. Murray is going to try me on a newer follicle stimulating drug, the name escapes me, but it's basically Clomid except stronger. She seems to be pretty optimistic. Now, we get the fun of sperm donor shopping. We're set to try again with January's cycle, providing my ovarian reserve isn't on E.
