    My entire life I have wanted a loving partner, a loving family and children.

    Tuesday, January 13, 2009 | An Anxious story

    I wanted to write something "PROFOUND" ... something positive and encouraging. I feel frightened, afraid and unsure of my own intellect. So for now I am just going to say giddy and anxious feel the same.

    Well I guess I am feeling as well as can be expected. I started the 'trials' this week and ended up in the group for hormones only. A big relief there!
