I never dreamed I would want something so badly and not be able to achieve my desire. I had been married previously and had a son, whom is now 9 years old. So, when I met my DH, I never pondered the thought of whether or not we could have children. I just took for granted that since I already had a child, that I could easily have another with my current DH. Wow, was I in for a big surprise!
I was 23 when DH and I met. DH was 37. He had been married twice before we met and had no children as the result of those marriages. I probably should have caught a hint, but I didn't. I just figured that his ex-wives weren't ready to be parents and so, maybe had been on birth control pills.
DH and I were married 4 months after we met. We instantly fell in love with each other and were married the day before my birthday . DH bonded immediately with my son, who was only 2 at that time. I was really glad of that, since my son's biological father passed away in June of 1993. DH adopted my son just shortly thereafter.
In the meantime, we decided to try to conceive a sibling for our son. I had no idea what I was in for. We tried SO hard!!!!!! It was a nightly ritual for 2 years! Until I finally came to my senses and realized something had to be wrong. It only took me 6 months to conceive my first child, and that was without trying! So, I scheduled an appointment with a Reproductive Endocrinologist to see what our problem was. I sort of had a feeling that my DH had a problem since neither of his ex-wives had become pregnant during the course of their marriages. Turned out I was right.
