The truth no one told us

Remember in high school the lie parents/adults told us, that just looking at a dick the wrong way can get you pregnant? (slight exaggeration but you get it). Having a baby was always made out to be a simple, immediate process. Screw that nonsense! No one told me I would be trying and trying each month. That I could have a late period for 7 days and BAM AF makes her dramatic entrance. No one said there would be heartache and tears for months. I wasn't prepared for the emotional and physical turmoil. I feel betrayed by my body with each negative test. All I have wanted for years was to be a mom and now that I feel I'm in a place where I can be the best mom I can. My body won't get with the program! I thought this was it for sure, I have never been late my entire life then 7 days of cautious optimism were crushed in a single trip to the bathroom.

My husband is wonderful and supportive but he is crushed as well. Each month it's like the dream of our little family growing starts and then is ripped away.

Sorry for the long rant. I am in pain and I know a lot of you are as well. It just seems like a horrible reality that was at least for me naively unexpected.
