Here we go again

Today I got the box full of meds.
The last two times I got these I was actually excited to receive them because it meant I was closer to pursuing my dream of becoming a mother.
This time is different, it's a reminder that my babies are no longer with me, that I lost them, that my dream is everyday further away.
Let's hope this stimulation is not as painful as the first one.
Please Endo give me a break!!
