I haven't posted for a while because we weren't sure where our journey was going to continue at. We knew there isn't an option to stop trying for our baby. We finally found a Japanese doctor here in Fukuoka that has been getting us starting on making new attempts at the possibility of achieving our dream of having children.
Early this month we had our first IUI (Intrauterine Insemination), it's not as far as IVF goes, which they don't fertilize an egg for you. Unfortunately it was a failure. It broke my heart, I think worse than any other negative pregnancy test I have had in the past 5 years. I guess I had more hope this would be our time? I didn't want to post about it before hand just in case it did work.
I don't know what I would do without my husband though. John has been my rock through this. With all the new medication I'm not exactly the most pleasant person to be around at times, but he's always there and helps me through the tears and letdowns of this journey. We are blessed at this point to be able to financially make these strides and have the opportunity to work towards something that will work for us. All the treatments here are a lot cheaper than the states.
We are on to try #2 hopefully beginning tomorrow or early next week. So prayers are needed that will will be our last and successful try. :)
My sister posted this article and I thought more people should be made aware of it.
