Not only have we had to deal with infertility, we also are dealing with my husband being laid off around the same time that it all began, which has been a huge challenge for us, but we have perservered! I was hoping since he didn't have a job or insurance that we would get knocked up, isn't that how it usually happens...lol...well not for The Benfield's ;) But that is neither here nor there...we just can't stop baby dreaming...it seems like we are stuck in a rut and we just want OUT!!!
Now that you are all caught up on the fun roller coaster ride of infertility, we can focus on the present and hopefully NEAR future.
In a few months I will be turning the BIG 3-0 and I am scared and slightly disappointed at my body...I really thought I would be a Mom by now :( but instead of dwelling we have decided it was time to begin our new journey with IVF. Quite a few months back we attended the mandatory IVF seminar. The seminar was the doctors' way of prepping both of us up for the everything that we will encounter throughout the process of IVF. It will include a ton of doctors visits, a lot of meds, and a ton of patience!!
Just recently we were discussing our next steps forward, Kenny informed me that as a kid he joked with others children about them being test tube babies...whelp looks like the joke is on him ;0) It's funny how things come back to bite you!!
So Cheers to Baby (or hopefully babies) Benfield...we hope to meet you soon!!
Wishing you the best of luck in your IVF journey! It can be a grueling process but one that's most definitely worth it!
