Trying for a miracle

I'd been wanting to start this blog for a long time, but just couldn't bring myself to start writing. I guess it was because it's too depressing when note down all the feelings....

Ever since January 2007, Steven and I started to really plan out for our 2nd pregnancy. Due to the commute, the stress from hosting parties, and all other work that needed to be done in the house before the parties, Steven's Hepatitis B virus came out. The doctor had told him that he needed to be on medication, but he can't take this type of medication if we were trying to get pregnant.

January passed, February passed, March, April...finally, by May, I decided to go see my OB/GYN. He prescribed Steven to go for a semen analysis. His test result came back normal. The count was a bit low, but it was still in the normal range. He was asked to go for an analysis again 3 months later.

By June, I was getting so frustrated and depressed. Steven and I decided to go on a vacation. We, together with our daughter, went to Beaches resort in Jamaica. With all the things that happened, we still had a good time vacationing together. Thou, there was still no sign of pregnancy.

In August, I decided to look up a Reproductive Endorcrinologist, an infertility specialist. I checked on Lehigh Valley Hospital's website and found Dr. Wendy Schillings. I called right away and had set up an appointment on 10/23 at 11am.
