Clair has mentioned you a few times and when we first started into this whole adoption journey she mentioned you and how you hate adding to that "stereotype" (once you adopt-or try to-you wil get pregnant). I, for one, am very glad that it worked that way for you. <br /><br />You are completely right about being young. In fact, when I first started trying to get pregnant I was worried more about people thinking I was some unwed mother(just due to my age and the fact that I looked so young) than I was about not being able to get pregnant, though I always had some fear that I wouldn't. It took me 3 visits to my GYN before he stopped asking me why I wasn't on birth control (he always forgot I was married). It took switching to another GYN before I even felt like she would listen if I told her I'd been trying for 18 months. Then, 2 years into this, after getting a diagnosis and doing a round of clomid with Dr. Incompetent. I had moved on to a younger more progressive doctor. It was our second meeting and I guess she had just forgotten me because after she found out that my medications were going well and that my period was more regular (I was on BCP's at the time to regulate my cycles) she said "Well, just let me know when you are ready to try for a baby and we can take you off the BCP's." I just started crying and said, "We've been trying for 2 years already. I don't want to BE ON BCP's." She felt really bad. I know she just thought I was too young. <br /><br />It seems like it's getting better, mabye it is just because I haven't been to the doctor in a while, or maybe it is because I'm now 23 and that seems like a more appropriate age to have children. Heck, it even seems more appropriate to me so I can't blame them too much. Luckily my RE didn't say that I was too young and that was very reassuring.<br /><br />On to your post. We have been married almost the same time. Jimmy and I just celebrated our 4th anniversary. It is wonderful how much better marriage can be than you ever even expected. And I thought we were the only ones who fought over how serious we should be about this infertility stuff. I know infertility can rip families apart and I'm glad that it brought you closer together!
