Our Journey Through Infertility With TESE, ICSI, and IVF.
Scratch That! Our Journey Through Domestic Infant Adoption
Saturday, September 10, 2011
My Little Beauty
While in Florida we took Ava for her Newborn pictures. I finally got a proof to show everyone. There are more to come, hopefully I'll get them next week!
After trying to conceive for 8 months my husband was diagnosed with azoospermia. He has a rare mutation of cystic fibrosis and is missing his vas deferens. We tried IVF with TESE one time but it resulted in a BFN. We started our domestic adoption journey in January 2011 and our baby girl was born 8/15/11. She is totally worth the wait, tears, and heartbreak.
