About Me:

 

I have been married for what will be 6 years on October 23, 2014.  Every marriage has trials and tribulations and moments, days, weeks or months of pure joy.  One trial I never expected to go through was the trouble to conceive.

 

I met my husband, Rick, while we were both in high school, and even then I knew Rick wanted to be a daddy.  He used to say he wanted "11 kids, so he could field a baseball team and the bench."  I was 21 and he was 20 when we got married with the plan to wait 5 years to start having children.  That plan was changed on March 1st 2011.  A close friend had his beautiful baby girl, and we thought we could not wait a day longer to be parents.  

 

After a year and a half of trying to have our own precious bundle of joy we decided to get "the testing".  While going through testing we discussed all of our options.  We knew the first step would be taking Clomid, which would be simple, and would be a great first option.  After that we both have trepidations.  Do we go through IVF?  Do we adopt? Do we just continue as we have and pray for a miracle?  During this time of contempllation, HUGE changes happened.  Jobs were lost, incurances were gone, and college was
