You see your friends and family having babies without hardly trying and you feel hopeless. You feel like you’re doing everything right, yet nothing is working.
Everybody says,
"Just don’t stress about it and it’ll happen!”
But you’ve been waiting months, maybe even years.
These are the questions I hear from women everyday...
-
Do I do ANOTHER IVF treatment? Get hormone injections? Look for an egg donor? Sperm donor? Surrogate? WHAT?! And how will I pay for it all?
-
Why can’t the doctors give me a specific reason I’m not getting pregnant, why can’t they fix me?
-
Why can't I carry a baby to term? One more miscarriage and my heart will be forever broken.
-
What am I doing wrong?
-
I feel like I’m letting my husband down … my parents want a grandchild so badly… I’m failing everybody!
-
Did I exercise too much? Too little? Was it the glass of wine? Did I do something to deserve this? Is it me? Is it my husband? Is the doctor wrong?
-
I want to be happy for my friends who have babies, but all I want to do is cry when I hear their good news or see those adorable onesies and itty-bitty booties at their baby showers.
