A Little Background Info

We started TTC (trying to conceive- you will notice I use a lot of acronyms which are listed on the left side of the blog) in September of 2008. After about 9 months of trying, we soon started to realize something was not right. I was put through a battery of blood tests (which were fine), a laparoscopy and Adam was put through his first SA (Semen Analysis) in May 2009. We were informed by my GYN office that Adam's results were normal with a "slight" abnormal morphology. What the doctor neglected to inform us was when she said "slight" she meant 0% normal morphology (which we did not find out until later). Then we started to test/try anything we could that could be a result of us not conceiving. This is what the last 2.5 years have been like for us:
