My name is Kerstin Daynes and I am the author of ldsInfertility.org. I was born and raised in Littleton, Colorado where I met and married (1998) my childhood sweetheart, Joel Daynes. I graduated with a degree in Family Science with a Marriage and Family Emphasis from BYU in 1999. Things that bring me great joy include running, cycling, reading, organizing, being out in the warmth of the sun, eating out, having a Saturday soda, and saving money by finding a great deal. Even though our continuing battle with infertility has spanned over many years and included medical treatments which failed 100% of the time, we have witnessed a miracle along the way in the birth of our son. We currently live in Lehi, Utah.

I feel compelled to share my story and to encourage other couples to share their stories about infertility so that all may be positively affected by acknowledging this very real sorrow.
