The Self-Inflicted Pain has started......AGAIN!!!

So...some big news for me is that I have started a series of hormone injections to prepare my body to have a baby!

Since John had his incident with cancer and subsequent surgery - our only option for having children is the dreaded In-vitro Fertilization (IVF).

It's crazy to me because as a young girl I used to imagine how many embryos I would let a doctor put inside of me if I ever had to go through that process - NEVER thinking I really would.  By the way the answer to that question is two (I'm hoping to get the biggest bang for my buck!)

Let me tell you this...it definitely takes the romance out of trying to conceive a child!  I can't tell you how nice it would be to have a romantic evening with my husband and then as a result getting pregnant.

Unfortunately this will never happen for me.

However, I am so grateful for the opportunity that I have to live in such a time where there is still hope for me to have my own children.  I am also grateful that my husband is healthy and with me.  He is the best thing that has ever happened to me.  I hope that we are successful in this process because I want nothing more than to have his children. Prayers sent our way would be wonderful!

I hope to report good news in the next few months of our progress in this process.  It has been and I'm afraid will continue to be an emotional roller-coster for me but I am continually trying to be positive and hopeful that this time around this process will work.

Until my next update on this process .................... I get to inject myself with hormones every night!!

Bring on the needles baby!

See I told you it wasn't romantic!!!!

Wow the things this "soon-to-be-mother" will do for her "future" children!!!!!!
