The start of our Journey to Parenthood

When Nate and I met 4 years ago, we both knew we wanted children. I from a previous relationship had a little darling angel named Destiny, she was born premature and lived for 23 days when God called her home. That time in my life was very difficult and honestly still is, I have my bad days, but what parent wouldn't if they lost a child. Parents are not suppose to bury their children. They are suppose to bury us.
So when Nate and I decided to start family 3 years ago, I knew that it would be a possibility that it would be a difficult road and journey ahead of us. I have what is called Polycystic ovary syndrome or PCOS for short.  The definition of this is: Polycystic ovary syndrome is a condition in which there is an imbalance of a woman's female sex hormones. This hormone imbalance may cause changes in the menstrual cycle, skin changes, small cysts in the ovaries, trouble getting pregnant, and other problems. 
After Nate and I got married we really had a long talk about children. We both know that we are not getting any younger, and we also know the risks of pregnancy after 35,  and with my previous pregnancy we knew that we need to start seriously thinking and talking things threw. We made an apointment with my Dr. in October of 2010 from there she referred us to a fertility specialist after many attempts to get things going for us, this would be the start for our journey to fertility and children.
I will continue on this tomorrow since at this time it is getting late. I hope this finds everyone well.
Lots of Love always,
The Snyders
Jessica and Nate
