Things My TTC Journey Has Taught Me |

My husband and I are a couple in our late 20s with the hopes of 'filling our nest!' Before meeting my hubby I was diagnosed with PCOS, endrometiosis, fibroids, and adhesions and underwent 2 surgeries. We tied the knot in 2008 and before long decided to go with 'if it happens, it happens.' We did not try to stop it, but it never happened. After more surgeries and tests for me we looked at my hubby, his SA test came back showing azoo. So there we were; enjoying couples infertility. With our combined diagnoses we decided to forgo the treatments promising less than a one percent chance of success. We chose to pursue adoption. We felt it was meant for us. Come along as we deal with both the infertility and the adoption aspects of our life! You can also scroll through my babbles at hisandherinfertility.blogspot.com.
