Introduction

Hi! I'm Katie and my husband is Ryan. We have been together for 7 years and trying to conceive for 4 years. We have been through a lot. . . lots of tears, money, procedures, a few surgeries, medications, shots, etc and we are left with much heartache. To our knowledge, we have never been pregnant. Our diagnosis at this point is unexplained. I, Katie, have stage 2 Endometriosis. I have had 2 surgeries to "get rid of it" but both surgeries have failed to help with pain or fertility. We still have medical bills from my last surgery 1 year ago. We want nothing more then to have a baby yet we are unable to due financial reasons (and well infertility). We have been told by a few RE's (Reproductive Endocrinologists) that IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) is our best chance at getting pregnant. IVF costs approximately $11,000, not including medication. The medications will cost $1500-$3000 depending on dosages. We have started this blog to help raise awareness of infertility (it seems to be a taboo topic), keep friends and family updated with our journey. Please join us in our journey! Please feel free to ask questions. You can leave a comment or email me. Thank you!!
