“There’s no shame in failing, just shame for not giving it your best shot.”

Today mark’s the first day of my IVF cycle, and words can not describe how excited I am!  The past two and a half years have been tough –   the waiting game, doctor’s appointment, tests, of course that frightening term….Unexplained Infertility.  How can it be unexplained?  What’s wrong with me?  And why can’t I get pregnant?  Apparently there is no reason – all my tests come back normal, I feel normal, I look normal, I act normal – well for the most part I act normal 🙂  Unexplained Infertility has no meaning, no definition, and most of all…no cure or solution.  We are hoping and praying that IVF is our best shot – no point intended!  Shots in the stomach, shots in the ass, shots at the unknown and taking the biggest gamble of my life.  We don’t know that this treatment is going to work, there are no guarantees, but we remain hopeful and optimistic that this – IVF – is our best shot.  If we fail, we try again….but I know in my heart that it’s going to work this time and we will forget all about that dreadful term…Unexplained Infertility.
