In case you hadn’t noticed, I’m Chrystal. I’m 25 years old. I’ve been with my husband, Scott for almost 4 years now, married almost 2 years now. I always imagined myself being single and kid-less, being some glamorous corporate executive. Then I met Scott, and he changed all my dreams and ambitions. We knew early on we were going to be together forever and we wanted children. He comes from a big family and wants a family of his own. I have a small family, I only have one sister. But, she is the best sister I could have ever asked for and I couldn’t imagine being an only child. So my dreams of single-hood and no children are long gone, never to return. Now I want to be a wife and mother. I married my prince charming, we bought our house together, we both went to college, and we even got a dog. We had our lives all figured out and together. Now all we wanted and needed was children.
I think we have both been ready to have children for a long time. We decided in May 2011 that I would stop my birth control and just begin trying and see what happened. May, June, July came and went, no menstrual cycles, pregnancy tests kept coming up negative. I’ve never had regular cycles, unless on birth control so I didn’t get too worried but I went to the doctor anyway. She brushed it off as stress and stopping the birth control affecting my body. I got a cycle in August but not September or October. Again, pregnancy tests came back negative. I scheduled an appointment with a new doctor in November for an annual checkup and to check on these irregularities. I knew something was wrong with my body, never having regular cycles wasn’t normal.
