Introduction!



I'm Kay. I am 35, married to Jason who is 37. We've been together since 2001, married since 2003. We have an 8 year old, named Jonas.




I was told at a very young age I would never have children. My husband knew this going in, and we were sad but okay with it. We would see about adopting down the line, probably an older child.




In 2004, I had gastric bypass and lost 220 lbs.

In 2005, my gallbladder went bad and I was scheduled to have it removed.




I had been feeling really bad and I'd gone to my PCP a few times, and they had gone as far as checking me for leukemia. Couldnt find anything wrong.




Pre-op testing for my gallbladder showed I was pregnant!




Jonas was born Feb 15th 2006. We started for another one pretty much immediately.




We've had a few breaks - I got really sick in Oct of 2009 and stayed sick for 3 years. No one could find out what was wrong with me. A few hospital stays later, I was diagnosed with Behcet's disease.




While being treated for that, I finally went into remission and we started TTC again.




Then, I got sick again. Fever, chills - I thought I had the flu. I went to the ER and found out I had listeria.

I spent a week in the hospital and came home with an PICC line where I had to give myself IV antiobiotics every 4 hours for 4 weeks.




All is well now, and we've been TTC again since 2012.




In Oct of 2013, I turned 35 and decided to find a new RE, and thats where we are now.




Soon I will update my first visits with the RE and first few cycles.
