Finally...

After what seemed like an eternity, but was in fact 1 month, the 28th of June had finally arrived and I felt like a little girl on her first day of school.

I was a bundle of nerves and wasn't quite sure what to expect. I met DH at home so we could drive to Sandton together.

When we arrived at Vitalab I was very impressed. The place was stylish and clean and everything you want see. We went straight to reception and it was then that I realised that I had forgotten the 9 page Infertility History Form that was e-mailed to me and that I had already printed and completed. We had to grab another one and sit down to fill it in. I was actually kinda glad because we were about 15min early and by having to do this again it took our minds off what was to come.


3pm Roll on...












Dr J...

It was time to meet Dr J and we were shown to his office. We walked in and it was a typical Dr's office with a view of the street below, lots of books and what I think were a few fertility idols...LOL

Dr J was amazing from the word go. He is super relaxed and funny, and he just casually chatted about the information on the form he had been handed. I was then taken for my internal check up while DH waited in his office. When I returned we chatted about what he had found.

The results were not what were expected...

And so the journey begins...

A little History:

DH and I were married in Oct 2009 and immediately started TTC'ing. We were so ready to start a family and give our furbaby(Luigi) a little human brother/sister...LOL










Our little nunu...Luigi


As naive as we are, we thought it would all be very simple. We knew it might not happen straight away but we didn't think it would take too long.

1 month, 2 months, 3months...8 months later and still nothing.

At this point I was starting to get a little frustated. People kept telling me to relax and not think about it and it will happen. To be quite honest, that didn't make any sense to me, cos as those of you who have been in this situation will know, when you want a baby, that is ALL you can think off. The most frustrating thing is someone telling you to relax. Especially people who just have to sneeze and they fall pregnant.

I convinced hubby that we need to see someone, just to make sure that everything was okay and then we could continue to "try" for long as it would take. I felt like that would give me the peace of mind to "relax" and let nature take it's course.

I had heard about Vitalab from a few people. A good friend of mine who had been trying to conceive for a long time started consulting with Dr J and a month later she was pregnant. I was so convinced that I would soon have the same success story to share with others. I was all pumped up and ready to be pregnant...NOW.

I made our appointment and off we went...
