The first time was because I needed my baby!! The second time was because I knew so many babies out there need mommies. (much less selfish on my part).<br />And as the stories go... an adoption process was cancelled due to a pregnancy working.<br /><br />Never underestimate the power of adoption! Once you start looking at those little faces, it'll break your heart. You'll want to take them all home. In retrospect, I wish I hadn't been so hung up on getting pregnant. It was a depressing many years. <br /><br />All the best.<br />And THANK YOU for sharing! That's a big deal.<br /><br />~M.monika@mysweetprairie.cahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00655544650615742749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070376410593750454.post-66525211632486368742011-03-02T17:47:57.410-06:002011-03-02T17:47:57.410-06:00I understand more than you know.

They told me they thought I had an operable brain tumor that had shut off my ovaries, etc. Operable but highly dangerous. Long story short, I did not have the tumor and went on chlomed. Everyone around me became pregnant (most by accident including my sister and best friend who both already had children) and my heart was breaking. Truly no one understands if they've not been through it. We persevered and now 25 years later I have 2 lovely children. I think because we had to try so hard I never ever took my relationship or my responsibilities to them for granted. Doesn't mean I overindulged them either. Just cherished them and worked very hard to guide them into being responsible, loving people. There is no moral to this story, just know that others have gone before you and survived. I wish you the best and my heart is with you!kimberjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11413135775615237377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070376410593750454.post-74389932286848076062011-03-02T12:57:55.187-06:002011-03-02T12:57:55.187-06:00Hugs!

There is so much unspoken that we as women go through... there are few who understand that we find crossing our paths in life... infertility, miscarriage, and pregnancy loss go unmentioned mostly in day to day life because of the pain for those of us who were there. But we are OUT HERE and willing to help! I'm on the preg loss side and then what to me felt like eternity trying to conceive again....Willing to be a special quilty-friend/ear/virtual shoulder with all sincerity.Laelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09994503699456861801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070376410593750454.post-39010405121068821282011-03-02T09:58:03.325-06:002011-03-02T09:58:03.325-06:00Hi Emily. Thanks for sharing your feelings in this...Hi Emily. Thanks for sharing your feelings in this post.<br /><br />I'm a Mormon (or member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, as we prefer to call ourselves). One aspect of our faith that is different from many religions is that we believe in current prophesy and revelation, which includes personal revelation, something that everyone is entitled to.<br /><br />Often times, we don't understand the "why" behind the trials we face. I had the same feelings as you did last year while I was struggling to get pregnant. I kept thinking that maybe my husband and I weren't meant to have any more children.<br /><br />But one thing that has continuously come back to me when I've been faced with different trials in life is:<br /><br />If it wasn't this, it would be something else, and it would still be hard.<br /><br />I've tried to keep that in mind as I've struggled through different hard times. The thing to remember though is that Heavenly Father and our Savior know each of us individually. They know our hearts and they know what tribulations will be for our good and help us grow the most.<br /><br />Anyway, sorry for being so long-winded. Know that I'm praying for you and your family and hoping that all goes well.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05774743314071443639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070376410593750454.post-21939564445443405922011-03-02T07:12:49.058-06:002011-03-02T07:12:49.058-06:00As someone who struggled with primary infertility ...As someone who struggled with primary infertility for seven years, I understand the grief!
