In the beginning.....

Our TTC journey began shortly after we got married, I have three children from previous relationships and my husband has no biological children of his own. I just figured I would get pregnant not long after we started trying because I never had to try to hard when my other children were conceived, but boy was I wrong! After six months or so of baby making sex, charting, temping, and peeing on hundreds of different sticks with no results, I new something wasn't working right. I went to see my GYN and he ordered a sperm analysis for my dh. The results came back and the news wasn't good, his count was low and so was everything else. We were then sent to see a urologist, with no real answers from this doctor, he told us to keep trying and repeat the SA again in 3 months. Three months later we repeated the test and the numbers had gone lower. My GYN refered us to a fertility specialist, we made our appt and went to see the RE. She ordered another SA and endocrine bloodwork on my husband. Again his count had dropped, now in the past 9 months his count dropped from 10 mil to 200k. DH's endocrine labs were all good but with no definite reason for such recurrent decreases she has recommended we do IVF/ICSI. This is were I am going to start journaling each step of our TTC journey through IVF.....
