I started this blog to give myself an outlet for all the things that seemed to be going wrong in my life. Over the course of two months I found out about a tumor that was removed from my spermatic cord, and that my chances of fathering a child naturally was next to zero. It was a lot to deal with in a very short period of time but writing it all out helped keep things in perspective for me. I went public with my blog after I realized the effect it can have on a man's mind. I wanted other men to know that there are worse things than being infertile, such as depriving oneself of being a father.
I'm 31, I'm Canadian and my wife K is 27. We call our home our zoo, because we live with our dog, two cats, and my twin brother D. If you've read this blog, you can tell we are very open people, a choice we have made in the hopes of helping others out there that are going through the same or similar things. We take our situation seriously but we do our best to find the humor in every aspect of our lives and it has done great things for both us as individuals and to strengthen our marriage. They say the first two years of marriage are the hardest, and I admit this first year has not been easy, but I can't imagine how I would do it without K.
We would like to thank everyone for their support on our journey and hope that if you've followed along with us, you've got something out of it, at the very least a laugh or two.
The true story of the trials and tribulations of an infertile man on his journey to become a father.
Oh my goodness! Thank you for your openness and genuineness! My husband and I have been unable to get pregnant for a very long and difficult 4 years now...
ReplyDeleteThe topic of infertility, for as prevalent as it is, goes undiscussed far too often! I have considered writing about it publicly but am always so worried about what others will think.
Your blog gave me some much needed courage. Thank you :)
And last but not least - congratulations on becoming a Dad! From the bottom of my heart, best of luck on your journey into parenthood :)
When I started writing this blog it was to help cope with the whole thing, but I released it publicly in the hopes that it might help others dealing with similar issues. If I never received another comment on my blog, yours would be enough for me to know that I helped at least one person. Thank you very much for reading, I wish you and your husband the best on your own journey!
