From the Beginning...

Robert and I started to research our options in January, just two days before our wedding. We knew we would need the help of Invitro-fertilization to get pregnant and wanted to "get the ball rolling." We met with Dr. Tracy DeSplinter of The Houston Fertility Institute on January 11, 2008. She informed us that Dr. Ho could extract sperm from Robert (due to his vasectomy several years ago), that she'd use fertility drugs to stimulate my eggs, and that pregnancy shouldn't be a problem for us because we are both in good health. We left excited with the potential of starting a family together and knew it would just be a matter of time and some extra finances to make it work! Two days later, we happily wed in Richmond, TX.
