After trying for a baby for over a year we finally went to a fertility doctor in the beginning of 2006. We went through all the initial tests and couldn't find anything wrong - then came the first surgery - still nothing wrong. They recommend waiting and trying on your own again after almost every step which I found very frustrating because I was getting more and more impatient and losing hope with every month that nothing happened. After almost a year of working with the fertility doctor and still not finding anything to explain why we weren't getting pregnant, they gave us 2 options - Artificial Insemination or Laparascopy Surgery. The surgery was very expensive and did not sound fun at all, so we tried 1 round of Artificial Insemination in November of 2006 - no luck. We debated about doing another round or going for the surgery and decided to go ahead and try the surgery this time.
On February 23rd, 2007 I went in for surgery - hoping they would finally find something to explain all our problems - and be able to fix it. They found a little bit of endometriosis and removed it, it was not a lot but the doctor assured us that sometimes a little bit can throw everything off and stop anything from happening. Recovering from surgery was hard for me and it took a while for me to get back on my feet again. They recommended that we try on our own again for 3 months before deciding what the next step would be. The first month went by - no baby. Already I was getting impatient again and struggling to find the right balance between not getting my hopes up every month but at the same time keeping a positive attitude. I really felt like we were never going to be able to have a baby. After seeing so many negative pregnancy tests and getting my hopes up every month only to be let down, it was hard imagining it going a different way...
