Birthday Wish
Dear Infertility Community,
There is much that infertility takes away and there also is unexpected gifts that are also offered.
The loss that we are sure we are going to continue to feel. That sense, that absolutely knowing sometimes, that this could never work. The dread of not making our parents into grandparents or grandparents into great grandparents! The understanding that our families, our genes could possibly not be continuing on, nor our heritages or lineage.
Except when it works. You start thinking that you know that it will never work. You will never become pregnant... Except that so often, so incredibly frequently, woman do become pregnant. Treatment works and then we do become pregnant. We do have babies. Our families do continue. Our parents become grandparents, grandparents become great grandparents, we become parents, our sisters and brothers become aunts and uncles and often, we watch our children play with their cousins.
Why are we in treatment? Because it can work. Very often. Very frequently. It works. And we become parents.
It is my 34th birthday and I offer up a wish for all infertile couples!
That this is the year we become parents.!
