Destination Unknown
Life is so hard sometimes!
You know the hardest reality I have had to face, as a woman with infertility, is the very real chance that I will grow old and never see my own children play, learn, grow. To face the possibility that I will go to my grave without leaving a future generation. That my family tree will stop at me. That I will never be called Mummy. These things are by far the hardest things to fear and comprehend.
They say every step you take is one step closer, but what if you don't know which turn to take or where to stop- destination unknown.
Hope is something we all can normally muster. Though there comes a point when hope runs out.
So not only am I heading on a journey to this unknown place but now I've also run out of fuel. Some may call this reaching a crossroad or maybe it's more like driving into a wall. I know one thing, it's going to take every part of me to put on my running shoes and find a spot to refuel and find some guidance.
Today I lost something beyond comprehension. It took some of me with it and I will never be the same.
Reality is hard to deal with when you no longer can find an illusion or a dream to hide between.

IVF ICSI UPDATE
Hi Everyone,
So just a quick update on this cycle. I had my Embryo Transfer on Tuesday and all went well. Still in a small amount of pain and some nausea, but overall feel like I'm on the mend. In the end four embryos made it to the stage where they could be frozen. We are really happy with these results.
I won't be updating to much from now on, and we understand people's curiosity and care, but we would ask that people don't ask us the results of this transfer. We will be very happy to share with everyone, but it is very difficult for us to celebrate early on and if it is unsuccessful we will need our space. Thank you for your understanding.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for the messages of support we have received. We truly are grateful.
Positive Thoughts!
