About Me

UPDATE:
I’m a 41-year-old woman trying for her second baby…

I’m Kelly, a 39-year-old woman in Maryland trying to conceive.  Started trying in February 2012, and after a surgery to remove a hydrosalpinx (blocked fallopian tube) in October and failed IUI in November, have moved onto IVF and FET in 2013.  My husband’s sperm has a low morphology count, and together with my 1 tube, our ages, etc, –this is our story.

This site will chronicle our journey and serves as a way to help me process and cope with the stress and unknown of trying to make a baby, potentially helping those who are now or in the future having a similar struggle. Now moving to FET in April 2013 after PGS testing is done.
