My wife and I struggled to get pregnant. We are lucky enough to live in a state (MA) that covers up to 6 rounds of in vitro fertilization, and we used almost all of them. On our fifth round we were ready to consider other options because of the emotional toll, but our doctor encouraged us to try again. We had very low expectations, and possibly because of that we felt less pressure. That's when it finally worked. For my wife, the struggle was both physical and hugely emotional. I had only the emotional part to deal with. I think it was difficult for both of us to put it out there so publicly, but time has a way of softening the hard edges of difficult emotions. Plus, we ended with two beautiful and healthy twin girls who are now 8-years-old. We couldn't be more grateful.
