I'm Brandi, and I am 31 years old. I've been married to my wonderful husband David, who is 32, since Oct. 21, 2006. Since that time we have been trying to conceive our first child.
After a year with no baby, we began infertility treatments. It was discovered that David had a low sperm count due to a varicocele. A varicocele is a varicose veing in the scrotum that causes increased heat, therefored reducing count. In June of '08 David underwent surgery to repair the varicocele. We were supposed to go back in 3-4 months for a repeat semen analysis to see how the surgery worked. But, I lost my teaching position, therefore our insurance went down the tubes.
Fastforward to right before Christmas of '08. I decide to pee on a stick. Oh my Lord, do I see a second line??? David sees it, but its as light as can be, but still there. So I decide to wait until like Christmas Eve to test again, thinking that the line is going to be super dark. Well, that wasn't the case. The line had disappeared all together, and 2 days later, AF arrives. For a brief moment I experience the esctatic joy of being pregnant. But it was obviously a chemical pregnancy and not meant to be.
Fastforward again to today, where we are still waiting, with no baby. David started working with the poilce department, and hopefully our insurance will start in about 2 months, and we can go from there.
