And so it begins...


Today we begin our little $14,000 dollar experiment. The process feels very real now. No more brochures, videos, and web pages. We are actually in the process of an IVF cycle. Day 1.

We both feel sick to our stomachs.

I have to admit that I was still holding out hope that we would beat the odds and get pregnant naturally. Alas, we find ourselves starting down an unfamiliar path. Obviously we are feeling anxious, nervous, scared, excited, hopeful, etc. No jokes today. Just a deep breath as we take our first steps toward the future.
