 Count your blessings..

For some, conceiving a child is done by sharing an intimate 

moment with your significant other.

For me, I have to PAY to have a child!

How is this fair?

"Oops, we're pregnant"

"This wasn't planned, it just happened"

"I've only been off birth control a month and I'm pregnant"

"I missed a few days of the pill, I'm pregnant"

"We weren't really trying"

"We conceived naturally"

These are the words I hear from those who don't have to 

PAY for their child!

This is how our child is conceived:

By IVF w/ICSI

What does this mean?

This means they take my eggs put them in a dish, 

and directly inject them with sperm.

This way bypasses the issues of the sperm fertilizing the egg

on it's own in the dish.

(this is the case when you have sperm issues).

Be careful with the choice of words you choose when speaking

to a woman who is suffering from infertility.

Refrain from saying, "You have plenty of time to have babies"!

This isn't the case for us suffering with infertility.

This is one of the comments that is the most hard to hear.

If you are one of the lucky one's who can conceive on your own,

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS!

I can't tell you how lucky you are!

I envy you.

My DH and I tried for 1.5 years to conceive on our own and 

nothing worked. 

We were trying not knowing it would never happen.

You are so blessed to be able to conceive a child

out of love.

Don't take this as a complaint or anger towards those

who can conceive naturally.

I'm just simply pointing out how hard it is to accept

the fact your is child being created from a petri dish with 

someone else's hands!

I am forever grateful for this 2nd chance at having a baby

through IVF!

God has placed us here in this situation for a reason.

I have to TRUST this.

Our baby will be loved beyond belief!!!!!

Thanks for reading.
