You try all your life to not get pregnant, and when you want to bring a child into this world you can't. Kind of ironic to me. The past year has been the most emotionally draining year I have ever had.
I believe in God, and I believe in His timing. That being said, sitting in the waiting room waiting for your "time" is not always easy. Especially when its a long wait.
A little background for those who don't know me. I am 24 years old and have been married to my best friend since July 30, 2011. My best friend just turned 26 and he brought the most amazing gift into our relationship. A 5 year old daughter named Kyndall aka "the light of my life." My husband has full custody of Kyndall so she lives with us 100% of the time. So in all aspects other then "biological" she is my child, and I love her as such. We always knew we wanted to have more children. So in November 2011 we thought it was time to start trying. I thought it would be easy. A couple months went by with negative after negative and Aunt Flow after Aunt Flow. Went to my OBGYN after 4 months,and she said "it just takes time." 8 months pass and I go to my new OBGYN and he again says, "it takes time and to come back in November if I'm still not pregnant." Well fast forward to November and here I am still not pregnant.
For those who don't know after one year of actively TTC without avail you are considered "infertile!" That word scares me more then I ever thought possible. I have an appt again on December 5th and I am praying I get some answers. This journery is the biggest emotional roller coaster I have ever been on. Especially when you are surrounded by everyone around you having babies or going thru pregnancy.
I feel like I am letting my husband down. I am failing him as a wife. I feel like I am letting Kyndall down, not giving her a sibling she is wanting so badly. I feel like my body is letting me down. Why me? Why can't I seem to get pregnant? Everyone says, it will happen in time and to stop "trying." For anyone who has ever struggled to conceive those comments are like nails on a chalkboard. Easier said then done people! My biggest dream in life is to become a mother and go thru the motions of carrying a child. I pray to carry a child, to bring a child into this world, to nourish a child with my body. All things that God intended for a womans body to do. Every tear, every negative test, every "it'll happen in time." So here I am today, after one year of trying and now considered "infertile" still keeping faith praying that if it's in God's will (which please be in His will) I will soon carry a child of my own. A child that will be created by two people who love one another immensely. A child that our daughter can call herself a "big sister," because of them. For this I pray!
