At the time I was, I was more worried about the pain and discomfort monthly, long term implications of fertility.However, a year later, I met and fell in love with Nick's head. Although, initially, to form a family could not be further from our minds. However, endometriosis played hell with our sex life, and I was constantly feeling guilty for refusing to have sex with the man she loved.It could not have come more as a surprise to me, when two years later, Nick asked. I had not really thought that marriage was on the cards so early in our relationship, especially with all the problems constantly suspended guilty "room" on my head. wedding plans are instant of our lives, somewhere between the entire planning; started discussing start our own family.We were married a year later in a fairytale ceremony, everything seemed so perfect, we begin our new life together, we had plans to travel and start a family.Shortly after the honeymoon, we decided to start trying for our first child. Sex was still incredibly painful for me, and while I was doing my best to put a good face, forced meetings soon became too much, and decided to consult a fertility doctor.   I will never forget the feeling of utter devastation and shame I felt when the doctor returned with the diagnosis of infertility. Not only was my endometriosis causes obstructions to ovulation, but the spread of endometrial tissue in my ovaries had caused severe scarring. All these factors combined made me very infertile. The doctors said it was unlikely that I would never have my own children. I felt like I had betrayed Nick and almost as if I was tricked into marrying me, and a normal family life with another person.    Nick was as favorable as ever, and held my hand through the succession of corrective surgeries I've had in the coming months. Nothing really seemed to help, he was certainly closer to becoming pregnant, and worsen everything I started having panic attacks before sex because I had formed so strong psychological links between gender, pain and infertility.     Looking back, I fell so low in my own inner misery, I did not realize that all the stress was taking a toll on my patient and loving husband and our marriage. Nick and I spent more time doing different things, our sex life was nonexistent, and all the hopes and plans for the future were on the table waiting. This time in our life was really and truly hell.Nick is really, really loves me because he has never left me for another more fertile person, and in fact, it was Nick who little by little began to pull me from my depressive depression. Although I had almost given up, never lose sight of our dream of having a family. Nick encouraged me to revisit our hopes and dreams, together we were able to slowly turn the burning desire to have a family.We began to explore other options for having a family, like surrogacy or adoption, well, these options felt like second-class alternative, at least now we have something to look forward. Looking back, I am so happy that these options were open as it was through reading about alternatives we have learned that infertility and sterility are completely different things. We had assumed or were led to believe that infertility and sterility are one in the same. It was my first major break, but now I felt like I was really hopeful.     Because I had assumed that my infertility diagnosis meant he would never be able to have children, and myself, but resigned to having a family.After a few weeks to pursue an alternative treatment, I found a new smile. Slowly Nick and I were able to strengthen our relationship and rebuild our sex life. Our diets have changed and improved lifestyles, the two begin to feel happier and healthier than we have had for a while! As we move through the plan I thought it was more open to some of the most alternative treatments, and began to try acupuncture and acupressure therapy.     Then one cold morning in July, the unbelievable happened:I nervously waited for my last stage of fertility (the time I ovulated) a pregnancy test and see if all efforts have paid off. At about 6:00 am, I got into the room to test ...    Poor Nick was awakened from sleep by my cries; I had a positive test.Nick was very excited and got what-always-knew-it-happen smile on his face. But I was still a little skeptical, I took two more tests just to be sure, and also gave positive results. We were pregnant !!The coming months are a little surreal golden glow in my mind; it seemed that with the help of additional support and knowledge, we managed to achieve the impossible. I really be a mother, a father Nick could finally achieve our dreams and have a family.     Since the birth of my first, Chloe, I spent my time (around being a first time mom joy) to ensure that there are a lot of accurate and accessible to couples with fertility problems. I want to ensure that others do not make the same mistake I did - to think that the diagnosis of infertility doctor meant I could not get pregnant, and we could not have a family.
