The Begining

John and I have being trying to get pregnant on our own for five years. Every month was a disappointment and it left us heart broken. We never thought it would be so difficult for us to get pregnant and start our little family. We finally decided it was time to see a infertility specialist to help us diagnose the problem. They did an extensive work up on the both us, which included multiple test, procedures and blood work. After the work ups were complete it turns out that John was the factor in us not being able to conceive. He has a low sperm count and he would need surgery to help increase his count. His doctor told us that after the surgery his number would increase but we would still need to do In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). IVF costs a lot of money and is not covered by insurance.

It has been so hard on us, you start to separate from family and friends because know one understands what your going though. People always asked us "when are you having kids" or "when are you going to get pregnant." I would get so mad inside and wished they would stop asking me that. Thats why I would avoid family and friends. Everytime we saw a baby we would get sad and it bothered us cause that is our dream and what we want more then anything in the world. All this becomes overwhelming and it kinda makes you sink into depression.

And thats when John and I seeked God to help us get through it. We knew he would be with us through this journey. He has already blessed us with so much and still continues to do so. Its amazing to see how God has blessed us. We pray together and give it all to him. I know he has us going down this path for a reason. I hope that our story helps other people and thats why I decided to record our journey...
