Amie and Akira had agreed that if they got pregnant they wouldn’t mind so they stopped using protection as they wanted to let it happen if it was going to. The two of them were very happy together and started to really look forward to the possibility of a new baby arriving and moving on with the baby in their new chapter of family life. However, after some time not using any protection and regularly being intimate between their busy work lives, the pair began to wonder what might be going on. So Amie decided to go to the doctors and check on her fertility. After the examination, Amie found out for her the chances of conceiving were between 5% and 25%. This wasn’t the greatest percentage odds, and Akira also offered to get tested for his fertility to see if he was also contributing to their troubles, but she was confident it was the low fertility on her side and wanted to address that before anything. The doctor did help Amie by giving her a way to track her periods to determine when the best time to try to get pregnant was. It turned out the next few days after her doctor’s appointment were going to be the optimal time to try for a baby.

“Akira, according to the app the doctor gave me to track my fertility the optimum time to try coming up is actually the next few days after today,” Amie explained to Akira over dinner that night after her appointment.

“Well, I’ll just have to take tomorrow off and then Winterfest is the next day so we’ll both have it off. Do you think you can take the day off?”

“Yes, I have some vacation days set aside. We’ll make a day of it!” Amie smiled and was excited but knew Akira was even more excited because he had always seemed more interested in kids than she was but she still wanted a baby.

Akira smiled back and said, “Awesome! Will do!”

While going through all this the progress in Amie’s career was still on track and going very well, along with her collection of crystals and metal that she can turn into elements to complete the elements collection. Akira is doing pretty well in his tech career too.

Amie and Akira went to sleep that night very excited for the future again because they felt more hopeful about expanding their family now.
