Jenn:
After the bad news we received from Dr. X, I cried a lot and just took time to think. From trying naturally to finding out I had low ovarian reserve to going through a failed IVF cycle, well, it was all just devastating. It took a huge emotional toll. I felt very alone in the IVF process. My home life and relationship with Peter became a lonely place.
Paying the Emotional Toll
Baby Talk
Peter:
No, I'm not talking about that kind of baby talk. Not the kind of talk some people use when talking to infants. That's not what I mean here. What I mean is talking about wanting a baby. All the time.
Rough Road Ahead
Jenn:
I have wanted to be a mom for as long as I can remember. From the days of being a little girl carrying my “baby” everywhere up until today. I believe that we all have our expressions in the world and mine is being a mother.
The Roller Coaster
Jenn and I met on eHarmony. She played hard to get, but that’s for a different blog.
Jenn and I are pretty used to getting what we want in life. We ask, hustle, deal, work. So after we realized that we could indeed make a life together (my antics test Jenn’s patience daily, but I digress yet again) we talked about starting a family.
