Well, just one good egg would do it. The path of infertility is somewhere no one thinks they will have to go, I know I didn't. Yes, I am in my late thirties as of three days ago and only got married last year so really babymaking was not particularly on my mind until now. I was not going to think of having children until I found my soul mate to conquer this endeavor with. I have found that person, who is already a wonderful father (to his daughter), but we are not parents together yet. I think it would be such a wonderfully fullfilling journey to have a child with him and all my hopes are with this now.
Going through infertility, has many up and downs and surprises galore. What is really a surprise is how much I didn't know about my own body until I realized it wasn't doing what I expected of it. I had no doubt that I would be pregnant within a year, but I am not. So, here we go in full swing into the arms of the 'specialists', whether it be western or eastern medicine. I have already been poked and probed (no pun) and so far we have figured out that nothing per say is wrong, but no plan of action has been devised. I'm really in the beginning stages of treatment, but in the mid stages of being frustrated and disappointed. My 'monthly visitor' has never been a welcome sight for me due to the pain she always brings, but now she brings the emotional pain with the physical.
You can never really know how loud a biological clock can tick until you have to hear your own.
TICK TOCK TICK TOCK, damn that's loud.
It's been a long time! Part 2

Welcome to the blogosphere! ...and you are right, blogging so helps me to be less 'obsessed' with TTC (but don't ask my husband, he still calls me obsessed). I'll be here to keep you company on your journey!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the welcome. It is so comforting to hear from people going through this crazy journey. No one in my immediate circle is going through this. Of course, this is my fertile week, so what else could possible be on my mind. Thanks for the company.
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful blog!
ReplyDeleteHon, I had no idea it was pre-occupying so much of your mind/space/time right now. But a blog is a wonderful way to let those thoughts go - and then just let your life flow too. It's not healthy to keep it all bottled up.
So - I'm THRILLED with your new blog.
It's more common than you think. Off the top of my head, I can list three people whom you know who went through the same thing - so next time we meet up, remind me to share their stories with you and maybe you can talk to them directly too.
Much, much love!
