To bring you up to speed, my excellent wife/blog co-author Stacie and I have been trying to have a kid for two and a half years now. The hardest part (you know, aside from not being able to have children) is seeing her feel more and more alone and hopeless after each cycle starts anew. That’s what led me to the idea of blogging our experience. Hopefully we can reach out and connect with the countless others that are going through the same ordeal and also help our friends and family to know what we’re going through.
I’ll eventually be bringing you up to speed on what I’ve been through (like my surgery… YOWZERS!), what I’m actively doing (I thought only old people took this many supplements), and what the future holds (acupuncture for male infertility? Sure, why not).
That’s me riding fiercely against the odds.
(Note: It’s Stacie’s bike. I rode it for 30 seconds. I understand that prolonged bike riding can impair male fertility. Once we have a kid, I will purchase a bike… with which I will ride far away from stinky diapers… just kidding… possibly.)
(Also also note: Stacie doesn’t think “Riders on the Storm” by the Doors is good writing music. I can’t think of better writing music personally.)

Thanks for sharing about your experiences. I just don’t understand why you guys didn’t talk about this with me face to face when I saw you guys a few weeks ago. I mean, such an easy topic to talk about, right? No, but seriously I want to keep up with what you’re going through and am glad I can even while thousands of miles away. If there’s anything I can do to help (like make a sacrifice on your behalf to a Thai fertility God next month???) let me know. Anyway, I hope that not too much longer you will have good news to share with us.
Where do you get acupuncture for that, exactly? (YOWZERS!)
Hey Guys!!
Rod and I went through a long period of infertilty when we tried to have Zach. We tried many things before we succeeded and much heartache accompanied. We know what you are going through and will keep you in our thoughts.
one day you will lead an army of babies…..on a bike
