Nikki & Steve (Australia)

Chapter One: The Discovery

It never occurred to me that we could be infertile. Like most women I know, I spent my early adulthood trying to avoid getting pregnant. I just assumed that I would be like the other women in my family and conceive as soon as I decided to. I was ready to start our family just a little bit before Steve was, so as soon as he said “let’s do it” we dropped the contraception. 

In some ways I think the first three months of trying were the most disappointing, because I was so unprepared for the let down. I knew the stats - that it takes most couples six months - but that didn’t apply to us. Just look at my genes! Dad had to have a vasectomy because Mum had their three kids in three years, despite using contraception when she fell pregnant with number two and three.
