Chris and I started dating in September 2011. I guess you could say it was love at first sight. After every relationship roadblocks we always found our way back to each other- we call HOME!
We got engaged in December of 2014 in Marshall, Texas while on a carriage ride to see the lights. It felt like a true Hallmark movie. We planned and saved for a year to finally tie the knot at Caspina Plantation on June 18, which started out with nasty weather to the perfect evening you could ever imagine.
After a year passed we decided to start trying for Baby Green. After trying for a year, I went in to get poked and proaded several times for everything to come back normal. We moved on to Chris, which samples came up as azoospermia. Our hearts sank, but our doctors and our faith were determined to help us become parents. After multiple genetic testing and other factors everything kept coming against our odds. COVID hit, finances and our dream of becoming parents were so far fetched. We then decided to start Chris on HCG shots and finally we saw a rise in results. We were so happy to finally see some positive results, but still no Baby Green. After more testing we found out Chris had Klinefelter syndrome and once again we were so heart broken.
Our doctor and nurse always went above and beyond and were determined to do everything they could, which resulted us in doing a testicular biopsy. We had a 50/50 chance and of course that’s good news.
On Thursday, March 17, 2022 our hearts were shattered. After being so hopeful in the uncertainties/darkness we were told it was not going to happen for us like we planned. We were told we had a 5% chance to find sperm.
Chris and I discussed it and have decided to go see Dr. Perry at Positive Steps Fertility to potentially start our family.
Now our journey has been so hard, but our FAITH, LOVE, and determination for Baby Green will see us through.
Sometimes I may feel like I’m drowning and can’t seem to keep up, but there is hope in the darkness and we will have the most precious baby one day. It will just take a couple of more mountains we will have to climb, but we are walking in Faith! We have the best support system from each other, family, friends and co workers that just know how much they help us keep a float.
Journey for Baby Green to be continued..
