We went to the "Park Silly" local market in Park City today. There was a company called ibeaninspired at the market that caught my eye. The idea is that you plant your inspiration bean and it grows up to the sky, just like your dreams. There is a purpose, a life and an energy in each bean and helps remind you of what is most important. It's a visual...to help keep you focused and on-track.

Clay and I have been trying to start a family for nearly 3 years now. We've been seeing a Reproductive Endocrinologist at the University of Utah for about a year. It seems like we have tried almost everything, other than IVF at this point. I have tested my ovulation, done cleanses and acupuncture treatments, taken herbal supplements, taken Clomid and HCG shots along with Intrauterine Insemination (IUI). We've had multiple tests done and the conclusion is "undiagnosed infertility". Basically, everything is functioning fine within our bodies and they simply do not know why we haven't been able to conceive.

We have an appointment set-up in August to learn about IVF and make sure we are good candidates for the procedure. I thought this would be a good forum for us to document the process and allow our friends and family to stay informed.
