Unsuccessfully Trying to Become Parents

We are a mid-twenties couple dealing with female & male factor IF. Were married 07/2004 & started to TRY to have babies almost immediately. Currently, we were blessed w/ IVF#1 with ICSI in Nov2008. We have 4 furry animals that are our babies. We both finished our 1st round of school (BS in Geology for hubs, BS in Biology for me) & are both working while furthering our education. I'm back in school to become an RN & he's working through his Master's in Geology. It's crazy, but we are thankful for the many OTHER ways we've blessed. Enjoy! :)
