Release the Negativity

Niki

Okay, so there is a support group for everything on here. Well, I want to hear about all the negatives. I want to hear about that time you really thought it was your turn. I want to hear about your loss. I want to hear about your jealousy when your friend got knocked up but you've been trying for years. I want to create a safe environment for you to let off your steam. You don't have to pretend to be okay with it. Tell me why it hurts. Maybe at the end of getting it off your chest you'll feel better. Share your story. I'll start.

I'm 20. I'm positive I have endo but the doctors haven't diagnosed me with anything. When I was 13 I had a cyst on my right ovary the size of a golfball. When I got out of the military (for medical reasons) at 19, I realized I wanted to be a mother. Nothing else made more sense me. I knew it in my heart my next step was to really have something to live and die for. My husband and I have been trying 11 months all awhile watching our exs get knocked up, our 16 year old neighbors get pregnant. We've watched people 30+ years old conceive the first month. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for everyone but I'm damn mad! At my body, at his body. We quit smoking, quit drinking, eat better...but month after moth disappointment! I know in the end it will be worth it. However, once a day when I take my vitamins I look at myself in the mirror and ask myself why. Why do I try? Why do I care? Because my child is worth it!
