Chapter One: We discover infertility

For my husband and me it was always clear that we wanted a family. After 5 years together, we therefore married in 1997 and I stopped taking the pill. A year passed, and nothing happened, which eventually started to unsettle us. Then in October ‘98 I became pregnant! We were overjoyed. But unfortunately I started to bleed heavily in the 6th week and lost the baby. We were devastated. But at least I knew that I was able to get pregnant.

And in fact I did get pregnant again almost immediately in January ‘99. This time I was pretty anxious that I might lose it again. Sadly everything repeated itself just as before, and I lost the baby in the 7th week. We were both indescribably down. The gynaecologist was also far from understanding, and simply said that it was not normal practice to investigate thoroughly until after 3 miscarriages.
