INFERTILITY
OLYMPICS
Going
through infertility is sort of like going to the Olympics.
1)
YOU
make all the sacrifices
2)
YOU
eat healthy and take care of your body
3)
YOU
follow ALL the rules
4)
YOU
practice safety
5)
YOU
make it to the finish line
6)
YOU
WIN - but haven’t received the medal
TIME TO GET THAT MEDAL! – NEVER GIVE UP!
As a woman we hit puberty and thus we begin our reproductive
cycle each and every month. We get use
to the cramps, headaches, bloating and discomfort… B/C we know that sometime in
the future it will all be worth it. We
will have the reward of becoming a
parent. That is the point, right?
You have a period so that you can have the chance to
create life. So when you make it this far and then have a difficult time conceiving
you feel completely let down. You feel
like you have prepared yourself the best you could, ran the distance, crossed the
line and did not get the reward. Well, I
want the reward. I want the baby. I WANT THAT GOLD MEDAL!!!
I have
been entangled in this infertility drama for a few years now and have had thousands
of emotional and physical ups and downs. Financially, it’s just one big dive
into a gaping pit and without the support from family and friends it wouldn’t even
be possible. But emotionally, this has become one giant roller coaster. With all that said - I am NOT a quitter, but
these days I find it more and more difficult to “NEVER GIVE UP”! -
