Nobody that has not been through a similar experience knows how bitter are the tears and how deep is the pain of looking around and finding that all friends and family we surrounded by newborn babies and that half of the population you know was pregnant...
Hope is hard to keep when you've tried all sort of treatments and your body refuses to cooperate... Eventually, a place was made available for us on the waiting list for IVF... Until...
