Not too optimistic, but still hoping

Well, I've decided to start to blog the happenings in the Holmes' household as we continue the journey to expand our family. So far it has been 16 months of trying with out any success. We are optimistic that one of these days we'll have some good news in this area.

In April 06 we started our TTC journey, in April 07 we began going to see a specialist in the hopes of getting pregnant. After a lot of tests, we are both healthy and there is no medical reason why we can't conceive.

In Aug 07, we did our first IUI. Today, we are 11 days past the IUI and I did take a pregnancy test, but it was a BIG FAT NEGATIVE. Although it is early and I could very well be pregnant- since on this day the home tests are about 60% accurate..., but I am not feeling very optimistic at this point. I am planning to take another home pregnancy test on Sunday (just hoping for a two pink lines) and then I have a beta test at the doctor's on Monday.

I am starting this blog in the hopes that one day I will be able to share it with family and friends to make a big announcement. Who knows how long that will be from now.....time will tell. For now, I am just going to share thoughts on everything going on as it happens, to document the journey that hopefully will have a happy ending.
