Our Timeline

Zach and I have known each other for 14 years, have been living together for 7 years and have been married for 2 years. We started ttc shortly after we got married in the beginning of 2015. We realized a few months in that something wasn't right and decided to see a doctor. Multiple appointment's later and we're on our 2nd FET hoping this one will stick.
