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.
