"Supposing you have tried and failed again and again. You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call "failure" is not the falling down, but the staying down".
I am not sure exactly who said this first but it definitely struck a chord with me and I HAVE to believe in it. Of that I am certain. If we ever want to achieve our dreams we have to keep fighting and believing it will happen for us, no matter how many times we get knocked down.
At this point we have been trying to have a baby for about 5 years. We have tried Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and also fertility drugs without medical intervention (the old fashioned way). To date, we have had many failed attempts and one son up in Heaven.
There have been so many downs that its almost enough to push someone over the edge. Almost. We are not ready to give up. We know this is going to happen for us one day and we won't stop trying until it does.
Last night was our first injection of this new cycle. As usual, the hubs took good care of me. He always handles all of the preparation and injections while I lay on the couch relaxing and trying not to stress.
The first one is always the hardest. The anticipation of it is always worse than the needle itself. Now that we got the first one out of the way, the rest should be a piece of cake! Here's to hoping!

| He looks way too happy getting ready to stick me with that thing! |
 |
| What our house currently looks like, there is medical stuff everywhere! |
 |
| Mixing the right dosage |
 |
| The moment of truth! Please excuse the stretch marks from my first pergnancy and the hole left from my belly button piercing left over from my younger days! |
