Some of our patients are just beginning their fertility journey. Meet Blair and Chad. They have begun a blog to document their story.
My husband and I tried to get pregnant as soon as we married in 2015. At 26 years old, the OB I was referred to did not take me seriously - she just kept telling me that I was young and not to rush things because we had “plenty of time”.We assumed our difficulties were due to my irregular periods, but after a few months and inconclusive testing we ended up at Olive Fertility Centrewhere we were diagnosed with unexplained infertility.
Like many middle class educated professional women, I was unable to find a suitable mate. I spent my 30s pining for Mr Right, so I could get on with creating a family much like the one I grew up in. After some challenging relationships my 40th birthday marked a turning point in my search. I was no longer going to look for “him” I was going to create my own family.
