Background

Fertility issues...not everyone has them, but we did. We started this whole journey in hopes of starting our new family right away. Timing would be perfect, Caroline would almost be done with school, we both had jobs even though the economy was in the tank, and quite frankly...life was pretty good.

After a several months of "trying" Caroline was told she would need to go to a specialist. We chose a doctor we had heard of in Dallas, one who had a good reputation, and one Caroline and I would eventually feel completely and 100% confident in. The doctor was Dr. Karen Lee at DFW Fertility Specialists, although the results each month weren't what we wanted or expected, Dr. Lee always kept our spirits up and our confidence high, even at it's very low moments, and OUR best interests at heart.

We went through six months of fertility shots, 3-4 doctors visits a week, and basically turned Caroline into a human pin cushion, as she was having blood drawn almost every visit. We would sit in the doctor's office, staring at the screen looking for follicles...or any other good news we could see. We did everything from IUI, to regular "date" nights, and sometimes we even did both. We had a real miscarriage, a chemical miscarriage, no pregnancies at all, and loads of frustration...it seemed that everything that could go wrong, was going wrong...As we became more and more frustrated, we decided that we would give it one more chance.
