Reed and I met while working at a hospital together. I thought he was "cute" but he was "way too old for me." He thought that I was way out of his league. However, the rest of the staff on our floor thought we were perfect together. We chatted a lot during work and almost always seemed to work the exact same shifts. Finally, after a year of working together and talking he finally found his opportunity to ask me out. Long story short he crashed another date, that I didn't want to go on at all, and he was in. After that we hung out a couple times and then we were dating. After a year of dating, most of it long distance because I went to nursing school out of town, he asked me to marry him. On January 3, 2009, we got married!
April 2010, Reed joins the Army. Our life completely changed that day. Before he leaves we decide that I should go off birth control and while he is gone we decide that we are ready to start a family when we are back together. Unfotunately we don't to live together again until December 2010, but boy do we due our best to start our family then. However in April 2011, he flies off to Afghanistan and we have not started a family. Unfortunatly, in June of that year the stryker that he was in hit an IED and it goes off right under him. Thankfully he was in a stryker and only sustained lots of bruising, lots of abrasions and banged up his knee. He really was quite lucky! Midtour leave comes and goes and still no baby. After getting home in April 2012, we start trying again and nothing, so finally in October of that year we get a referral to OB/Gyn for infertility. All my blood work comes back normal, but is SA comes back low. My doctor decides that although I'm ovulating on my own she is going to start me on Clomid and we'll do IUIs. She said that she will do up to 6. So far I have done 5 rounds of clomid and 3 IUI's. We decided to take a break from fertility crazyness over the summer and AF decided to go on her own 3 month hiatus. We then met with a new doctor who gave me Provera, then ordered an HSG and pelvic ultrasound, both of which came back normal, and are now starting a new round of IUI's with Femara. Hopefully they do the trick!
