I came across this article and saw the accompanying image yesterday and decided to share it with you guys of course. For your convenience, I have copied the excerpts from the article here:
" If there was ever a photo that perfectly depicted the pain and joy of IVF, this may well be it. The photo, shared on the Sher Institutes Facebook page, "shows the true definition of love that went into making this gorgeous new baby girl." In it, the baby is surrounded by hundreds of syringes and vials that the mom used during the blood draws and injections she went through in order to conceive.
Dr. Molina Dayal said that those weren't even all the supplies the mother used to conceive. The mother, Dayal said, had been through multiple IVF cycles over the course of a year and a half.
The baby's mother, Angela, who asked that we use only her first name said she would tell others on a similar path to "hang in there." "The needles were the easy part. It was the emotional struggle, the ups and downs, that really took a toll," she said to ABC News. "I'm single and waited a long time for a husband to come. And then by that time it was difficult to get pregnant." "

Such a sacrifice for a parent to endure just to have a child of their own!
