The road so far…

Let me paint you a very quick picture.

It has been 2 years and 6 months since I went off my contraceptive pill. After about 12 months of regular periods, one pathetic false alarm, no pregnancy and a LOT of “trying” – I decided to visit the family doctor. He recommended we see a fertility specialist. For the next 3 months we both underwent numerous tests and passed each one with flying colours. Of course that just meant there was no reason why I couldn’t fall pregnant.  This non-result did not fill me with the greatest confidence. The next step was an IUI. After 2 failed procedures, I thought we should try other avenues. A friend recommended I try naturopathy, and 6 months later you find me here, writing this blog, instead of falling pregnant.

That’s our story in a nutshell. It doesn’t seem that extraordinary when it’s summed up like that, but there is a lot to read between the lines.
