Isn’t it funny how we let the one thing that we don’t have affect the way we feel about all the things we do have.
By this I mean I am happy with most aspects of my life, I love my job, I love studying, I am in a loving relationship, I have a great family, we are buying our own home, there is just one thing missing.
I am not pregnant... Now I know that I am young I know that there is plenty of time, but it doesn’t stop me feeling the way that I do.
That ache you have in your heart when you see a newborn or a pregnant mother, the forced congratulations to friends who only looked at each other and she was pregnant!
They always say to me just relax and it will happen, that is the last thing you can expect someone who is TTC to do, just relax.
I guess I know that it will happen when the time is right, obviously my last pregnancy just wasn’t meant to be. That is hard to swallow though when you do everything in your powers to be as healthy as you can be eating right, taking vitamins, not drinking, drinking lots of water.
It is even harder to swallow when you walk down the street and are constantly tortured with crack addict skanks who manage quite easily to carry a healthy baby to term on their drug and fast food diets.
Where’s the justice? Who makes these decisions?
This must be so much harder for people who are infertile to stand, and I know that I have so much to be grateful for and believe me I am. I have members of my family who have struggled with infertility and it is awful.
However I have never personally experienced this and so I can only perceive what it must be like for them, no one can really understand If you haven’t been there yourself.
I will continue to thank my lucky stars for all the great things in life I have been blessed for and will also continue to wish on lucky stars, flick eyelashes over my shoulder and hope to be shat on by a bird!!!
