Married in 2005, my hubs and I wanted to wait a couple years before having children. Then the bug bit in early 2008. After several months of trying, I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid. Then after a year of trying, I was then diagnosed with PCOS, and the hubs was diagnosed with low sperm motility. Still trying to get pregnant after 15 months, we’re making it through each day with the help of our fur children (Taider and Comet), some tears and talks, but also a few laughs.
