Here we go...

Today seems an apt day to start this blog.  I will be giving myself my very first injection tonight and will have to muster all the courage and strength I can!  I know it won't be nearly as bad as I think it will, and if others can do it, I can certainly do it.

The last few weeks have been particularly difficult as I was trying to decide whether or not to start injections.  Writing has always been a good outlet for me in trying times so I thought perhaps it was a time for a blog.  I have some wonderful friends who are always there to listen and provide support and Mr. Scout is my rock, but sometimes I get tired of talking about this journey and need another avenue to release my thoughts.

Also, as I've stumbled down this road of infertility I feel more and more that there is too much silence around the issue.  As I have slowly shared my journey with people in my life I have come to learn that some of them have travelled down similar paths and it saddens me that I never knew of their struggle because infertility is just not something that is openly talked about. 

My hope is that my writing here will be therapeutic for me, and if along the way someone else reads something I've written and finds comfort in it, well then, all the better.
