Jennifer's
story:
My husband and I are both 34. We tried for almost two years to get pregnant.
Finally, we went to the fertility doctor. After what seemed like 100 different
tests, I was diagnosed with endometriosis. After a couple of months of Clomid
treatments, the doctor decided to do surgery. For two months after the
surgery, I was taking Follistim shots.

Sam's
story:
My husband and I have been trying to conceive for two years. My ob/gyn kept telling
us to have intercourse on days 12-14 of my cycle, but it was not working. In
September of 2006, I left work, sat at the dining room table and cried. I told
my husband I did not want to try anymore, and that the stress and disappointment
were too much. We cried together.

Nai's
story:
When I was younger I always thought
that when I turned 25 years old I would
start a family. My sister and cousin
both started their families very young
and I vowed that would not be me. I
was going to do things right - like
get a job, find a good husband, get
a big house... then comes the family.
Well everything took place but the
children.

story:
Well my story is long, true and still
hurtful to this day, but I'll make
it short. My mission is on a good track
now so hopefully my story will help
someone out in some way.
I always thought I could have a baby.
When I was younger I got an rude awakening
when I thought I had the man of my
dreams.
