For almost 5 years, we were challenged with Trying To Conceive (TTC) until when we got confirmation from our Fertility Specialist that our diagnosis was unexplained infertility.
We were disappointed and were floored actually when we realized how difficult the journey to becoming parents was for us. We thought that getting pregnant would have been seamless.
