Ok, so this is my very first blog, ever. It will probably be just a collection of thoughts, feelings, and most likely frustrations of our journey to parenthood. If you squirm when hearing about needles, blood, and other vial proddings, this isn't the blog for you. My goal is to give an accurate and truthful picture of what it's like dealing with infertility and having a Christian faith.

Today is day 1 of my cycle, which for the first time I'm happy about. It means that I can get started with my FET! (Frozen Embryo Transfer) I've been on Lupron injections for almost 10 days now and while my belly is beginning to get sore I've at least got a target date in mind for when I can stop them. Only 15 more days of shots!! (and then I start Progesterone injections in my hiney...but hey, at least I'll be done with the stomach ones!)

"I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will tell of all thy wonderful deeds." Psalms 9:1 Even with shots, bleeding, cramps, and mood swings, I am still thankful to my God for giving me the opportunity to try for a child. I just hope I can remember that.
