Attending

In 2008, after two years of failing to make a child organically, we learned the doom Kathy had already been feeling for more than a year was justified: I was diagnosed with male-factor infertility. Our only real chance to move forward would be in vitro fertilization. We couldn’t afford it; we couldn’t afford not to do it. One way we tried to work through that diagnosis, our anger, and our options was to start a secret infertility blog, “Less Than a Million.” This post and what comments from 2008 that are attached to it come from that blog.—gb

As of today, K and I will be attending the Midwest Family Building Conference in Minneapolis on May 17. We are of course going for the chance to win a free IVF cycle, but if any of you readers might be there too, do please drop us a note in the comments: We would love to meet you.
