Introduction

My name is Laura and my husband is Edgar.  We were married July 11, 2009.  I've always been opened to having a large family with a lot of kids-heck, we both come from them.  In no way did it ever cross my mind that we would have the troubles in which we are having.  
*A little background*
I lost my Father in 2003, my senior year in high school.  Not long after I lost one of my older Sisters and my best friend, LeeAnn, in November of 2008.  In June of 2009 (just 1 month before our wedding) I lost my Mother.  Times have been rough.  My family is now half the size of what it once was and knowing that kills me.  Not having my Mother here to let me know things will be okay kills me.  Having to deal with fertility issues with no one really here to quite understand is the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with. 
I feel when I open up to people about different tests the Dr is running, or when I have to go do blood work, or the sadness and emptiness I am holding onto inside-makes them think less of me.  Like I am burdening them with things that really don't matter to them. This blog is to help me vent, share, and document everything going on in this stage of my life.  You are welcome to follow along if you wish.
