College, check….job, check….marriage, check. Whew! Now all of the expectations will finally stop! Not so fast. "When are you going to have a baby?" is the question that I hear over and over again. It’s a question that is very difficult for me to answer. Not because I do no want children, but because of the difficulty that I have experienced trying to conceive. Infertility is a personal issue, an emotional issue and a very complicated issue. There’s so much information out there, how on earth do you decipher between fact and fiction?
I consulted a fertility specialist over a year ago at the recommendation of a very good friend. It’s amazing what you will discover about others once you open up. I learned that I was not on my journey alone. She had experienced my pain, frustration and embarrassment. She’s my inspiration that all of the poking, prodding, and invasion into my sex life will eventually develop into me starting a family.
Although I have not been successful, I am very hopeful. I know that I am not the only woman out there travelling this journey. If you or any woman that you know is experiencing infertility issues, please offer your experiences, knowledge and support.

Great topic. I think that this is a struggle for so many women and they may or may not even know. Our first assumption is always that the time is not right so that is why it is not happening. But when we "dig in" we find that there is so much more. Keep the faith! Your blessing is on the way.
ReplyDeleteWell dear there are many women who live the same frustrations as yourself. My best friend has been experiencing this dread questions for the past 20 years of our life. She seems to have put beening a mother on the back burner for now, but I know there are many more who appreciate knowing they are not the only one.
