How it all started....

We've been talking about children for a long while now. But M had a vasectomy almost a decade ago. We knew it was going to be a long journey, we just didn't know how long or how tough. :-)

In September, M got a vasectomy reversal. We were told to wait 6 weeks to get the analysis back - which we did - it was a failed reversal, aka no sperm. And by no sperm, I don't mean low sperm, I mean NO sperm.

Devastation hits, we grieve, we progress, we move on. We meet with a fertility specialist who recommends IVF (in vitro fertilization). And that brings us to now.

This journal will document all of our journeys, our appointments, our ups, our downs, everything. Because it is public, names will be removed, some posts may be ambiguous, but the purpose is to share with YOU our family and friends, everything we're going through in order to create the child or children we want so badly. I started documenting this in another journal so some posts will be backdated to capture the steps we've already taken.

So let the journey begin.
