What I Wish You Could Understand About Infertility
- That I really would like to have been married for a year or a little longer before trying to have a family, but I got married "late" in life (not really, but by southern standards, 31 is late!) and we want to be young enough to enjoy our kids.
- Sometimes medical issues prevent us from being able to follow our "timelines." With my medical history, we weren't really given the option to wait.
- telling me to stop stressing about it will not help me get pregnant any easier.
- I've always wanted to be a wife and a mom and the fact that it's going to be a little more difficult for this to happen is harder than words can ever fully explain
- I love being married and love life with my hubby and just the two of us, but I can't wait to see him as a dad. I'm kind of excited to think about life with three.
- I know a baby changes everything but just because you became a parent much sooner than you and your spouse had planned and it's been a hard adjustment for you,it doesn't mean my marriage will be miserable.
- I do not need to nor do I want to hear about how you knew a few couples who struggled to get pregnant, did all the infertility stuff and then when they just "let it go", they got pregnant. (even if I know one of these couples and know their story.) This is my probably one of my biggest infertility pet peeves.
- This has been one of the biggest tests of my faith and it's definitley "holy sandpaper."
- There are times when on the outside I look like things are fine, but on the inside, they're not.
- But above all, I want you to understand that I believe that God is bigger than infertility. He can heal me and let me have a child biologically and I'll praise Him..but if He chooses to use adoption as the way for us to be parents, I'll praise Him for that too. Above all else, I'm praising Him regardless for He is a good God.
