Infertility

Introducing myself!

Hello there!  My husband and I are both 36, we have been together for 7 years and married for about a year and a half.  We started TTC right after we were married on 10/10/15.  We tried for about 8 months and then decided to talk to my OB/GYN since we weren't having any luck. I was diagnosed with PCOS and put on medication.  We then tried 2 cycles with clomid and nothing.  We were about to start our 3rd cucle with clomid when my husband had a devastating accident.  While setting up his tree stand for deer hunting season he fell 20ft and broke his back in 3 places.  He suffered a spinal cord injury and is now a T-7 paraplegic. After his accident, doctors told us that IVF will be the only way we will be able to start a family.

About a month ago a local radio station had a contest where they give away a free round of IVF.  We entered and actually won!  We couldn't believe it!  We know it's not a guarantee, but we are so excited to see what the future holds for us. I'm nervous and excited to start he IVF process, I'm sure a lot of you know that feeling!  

Hoping all your wishes come true in 2017!
