Update #1

A little background for everyone - We met, got engaged, got married, decided to have a baby. Easy enough right? Wrong. It all went really well until "decided to have a baby" part. I already knew that I had a female problem, Polycistic Ovarian Syndrome or PCOS, which in English terms, I have sits on my ovaries that prevents me from ovulating. Now my problem can be solved with medication. Easy enough, Wrong. Chris & I headed to the Doc to make sure we took all the right steps to start the process. We knew about my problem, but wanted to make sure that was the only one. Chris gave his "sample" and we found out that he had no sperm in his siemen. Now at the time all we saw was a wall. We were heartbroken. We thought we would never be able to have our own biological children. About two hours later we bounced back. Adoption was a great service and we had no problem with it. Now when the Doc told us that there was no sperm, he referred us to a Doc at the U of U. We figured, lets go talk to them and see what they have to say....what's a $35 co-pay, no harm in hearing what they have to say. That is really when it all began. We went to our appointment, gave a quick blurb about our families medical history and we had a diagnosis. Cystic Fibrosis(CF) runs in Chris' family. Chris is a carrier of the gene and he has a side effect called Absence of the Vas. English - the tube that move the sperm from point A to point B is missing. That was our "ah hah" moment. Invitro Fertilization (IVF). Easy enough, Wrong. Alot more testing to double check everything and coming up with the money. We started in May and finished the "prescreening" in December. It's been exhausting, but we are ready!!
