...people who want babies can have them.

So for those of you who are just meeting me, I'll give you the short version. Brad and I have been trying to make a baby for 16 months with no success. We've been through over 6 vaginal ultrasounds, 3 semen analyses, over 40 rounds of bloodwork, one hysterosalpinogram, 6 rounds of ovulation induction meds, 1 round of in-vitro fertilization (IVF), 8 days of follicle stimulating hormones given by injection, and many visits to a few different doctors.

We're now in between treatments after our first failed round of IVF. So here we sit trying to figure out our next move toward parenthood. We go through all this while seeing babies deposited in garbage cans on the news, children being abducted, children being taken from their parents and forced into guerilla warfare, thousands of crack babies born, and tons and tons of "oops!" babies. So in my world...people who want babies can have them and those who don't can't. It's only fair. Unfortunately, my world is only real in my head.
