It has come to my attention that there are some who would quickly point out that, given our recent announcement, I didn't truly have to deal with infertility. And I am incredibly thankful for that.
I would hope that I haven't hurt or offended anyone who has. No, I do not understand what it is like to desire and either not conceive, or continue to lose babies for 1, 2, or 3 years or many, many more. What I do know is that those months in which my body didn't recover like it was supposed to and the fact that the doctor was quite sure that I was experiencing secondary infertility, coupled with my medical history, were a very uncertain and rather frightening time. I feel remarkably blessed in that, though it took my body nearly double the time it does most women to recover it's ability to conceive after weaning, I was able to at the first opportunity.
Please know that if you are struggling to conceive, or have after a long wait, I know that I haven't experienced that. Yes, I have experienced wait and pain in other areas, but not there, not like you have. I rejoice with you in your pregnancies, and can only pray that you can rejoice with me in mine!
