We are speedily approaching the 1 year milestone of trying to have a baby... And I can say... Damn it's hard. It's terrifying. It's heart wrenching. It's exhausting but we keep the hope alive by saying next cycle... Maybe this month will be our month... Maybe it's a dud of a test... I have tried and continue to try everything to make sure I get that cute little second line, but everything seems to fail me. Am I the problem? Is hubby's sperm OK? I pee on sticks and in cups at every twinge or nauseated moment. The two week wait turns into 'why is my period 3 weeks late?' friends, family, colleagues get to announce their joy... When will I? People try be supportive but they don't really know... Ladies. All I can say is stay strong. Don't give up. Our time will come. One way or another. Don't forget that your partner loves you, through the tears and good days. Love you
