When I got pregnant with J., I decided that I would never go through the stress of infertility again. And people kept telling me that I would probably never have to worry about it because "once you have a baby it's easier to get pregnant again." Of course, none of these people are doctors, so whatever.
Anyhow, we are going on 8 months of "trying" for baby #2 and once it started having a negative impact on my marriage I decided that was it. So today, we went to a fertility specialist for a consultation and decided to go for in vitro.
For those not in the know, we had planned this avenue last time around but got pregnant with J. and didn't have to. That, though, was after 4 failed artificial insemination attempts and two years of trying.
And so, here we are again. I had some blood work done today and on the day of my period, I'm supposed to call them and then get started on birth control for three weeks. After that we will begin the injectible drugs and all the rest of the fun that goes along with in vitro!
Since I have been really bad about blogging these last few years, maybe this will motivate me to get on it again. I am certainly going to need an outlet for expression.

Best wishes! We've tried for quite some time to have a baby and suffered a miscarriage late last year. No in-vitro for us but hopes that it will happen again soon this year.
Sorry it has come to this. But, like you I would go the same route if needed. The clock is ticking! Best wishes and luck to you guys. Who knows...I might be following you down this path in the future. Keep us updated!
MG: It will be easier to keep you updated now that I am working from home part of the week again! :)
J: I am sorry to hear that. Good luck with everything.
