Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's a quiet voice at the end of the day saying "I will try again tomorrow"...

Just greeeaaaattttt...

So, because having a completely barren womb isn't bad enough... Now it's gone all wonky on me. And to top it off, for the first time in 10 yrs, my much loved Va-jay-jay doc is no longer in network. They say that all things happen for a reason. I'm hoping that there is a reason why I now have to find a new doc...

Lbs...

Weight loss sucks. It's not fun. It's not easy. It IS however, worth it. I won't lie, I've been lazy. Over the past 12 years I've gained over 60lbs. It has taken me this long to gain it all, but I'll be damned if it's going to take me that long to get it off! I'm down 6lbs as of this morning. I know that may not seem like much, but it's 10% of my goal... Not too bad for the first 2wks... Not too bad...

How much is that puppy in the window?

The average person has no clue how much infertility can cost. They don't know that so many couples will never know the joy of being a parent due to the prohibitive cost. I'm not talking about just medical procedures. Adoption is so far out of reach, that it's impossible to comprehend. After battling this for almost 9 years now, I am fully aware of the costs. Thankfully, we are FINALLY getting to a point financially that we can begin to afford some of the less expensive procedures. And while this gives me a renewed sense hope, it makes me sad for those who will not be able to afford even the basic chances to be parents. Our country will pay for so many other programs, why not a program for Infertility? Why not? It makes you think, doesn't it... Why all the welfare programs, public housing, and others along those same lines? Why not one for those of us who simply want a chance to build a family?

Day 1...

So I've decided to start this thing up again. Here we go again :0)

I've started taking some really good quality vitamins, got back into my work out routine, and have started tracking my cycles again.

It's a new beginning. I still have hope. I will never lose that...
