A friend said to me that if I didn’t believe somewhere deep down inside that the treatment would work, that I wouldn’t even attempt it. And I do believe that one day I will have this baby – I guess that is hope.
After re-reading my previous post and comments I wanted to add that although I think about all of the “what-ifs”, and although I do worry – I am hopeful about IVF.
I worry about what might not happen – BUT I also dream about my maybe-baby. I see it in my arms and I imagine the life that we will have. That is hope.

The maybebaby is what keeps us all going.
Hope’s a funny thing. It is the all motivator, but is sometimes the mortal enemy.
What an odd thing this infertility is!

HUGS. Hope is a good thing. And personally I think WE ALL NEED it or why bother. Ya know?

As I said yesterday, it’s a very fine line to tread. We worry, but we also hope. If we didn’t have hope, we’d never put ourselves through all this.
