Here Goes Nothing!

My Momma always tells me that I should write about my experiences with our journey to have a baby.  So after 3 IUI's and 5 IVF's, I have decided that maybe she is right (as usual) and it would be kind of therapeutic for me to write.  I am not really certain where I should start, but I guess the beginning is as good a place as any.

I met the love of my life in 2000.  10 months later we moved in together, and on October 4, 2003 we got married.   We knew immediately that we wanted babies, so we soon started trying to conceive.  7 years later, still no baby.  I have gotten preggo twice through IVF, but miscarried both times.  And here we are, gearing up for IVF #6.  Sometimes I think I am crazy, but I can't help it...I need to be a mother.

So here goes nothing...I promise to be real, honest and share my journey with whoever wishes to read about it.  I am not the type of person to sugar coat things, so be prepared to hear the REAL story of a woman going through the trials and tribulations of trying to have a baby!
