The Journey

I got married on 5 December 1998

We initially didn’t plan, as we wanted the picked white fence house, the car and everything before starting a family. I suppose we thought that by the time we had all this we would be ready.

 
In 2000, I had a laparoscopy done by my gynecologist, and the results were clear. I didn’t have any cysts or endometriosis, so we proceeded to try naturally without success

 
October - December 2005 – Laparoscopy / Hysteroscopy done, planning naturally

 
In November 2007 we had our first appointment at Vitalab, which revealed low sperm mobility and quality - hubby started Sperm-aid and Stamina grow, we also had some blood work done – a whole series of them - so we tried naturally for a while (but I used Fertiboost which sorted out my cycles)

 
I was scheduled for a HCG which were completed and revealed a kink which has to be fixed (but it was also explained that this shouldn’t be the problem that we cant seem to fall pregnant) so we decided to leave it first until we could see a positive as till now we had no sign that there could even be a positive showing up soon.
