An Intro, of course.

So, I've finally decided that it's time. It's time for me to share my story, well our story.  With sharing our story I am hoping to be able to reach out to couples, in a positive way, who may be in the same situation as my husband and I.   I have met a few women by having the courage to come out of my shell and sharing what we have been through over the past couple years. It is amazing to see how we have been able to come together and help each other when infertility is taking it's toll. I never, in a million years, thought I'd be sharing something so personal with the whole world, but I know how it feels to feel so alone in a world of norms, pregnancies, and babies. 

First of all, my name is Jessica. I have been with my husband, of whom we will refer to as "E", for nearly seven years and married over three of those seven years. He is in the United States Marine Corps and I own and operate my own business from home.  E and I are very happily married, which of course equates to infertility, or so it seems. 

When we got to the Carolinas in September of 2010 we decided we were ready to start a family. We were so excited and thought, like many couples, that we would be pregnant in the next few months.. We were always really careful to use protection when we weren't trying so we thought, "this should be easy!" Boy, were we wrong! We have never been so wrong in our lives. Here we are 26 months later and our family has only grown by 12 paws and not two feet.

And this is where our story begins...
