For all my TTC ladies out there who can relate

Hello all,

After hearing that IVF is our only option and neither of our insurances covering this I wrote this poem. I was just overwhelmed with so many emotions and this is my outlet......

No matter what, I know it’s impossible or highly unlikely but every month I hope. Every month I’m convinced my pms symptoms are really pregnancy symptoms and Aunt Flo won’t show. Sometimes she’s a bitch like she was this month and shows up a couple days late. My hopes get up so high. I take pregnancy test after test, I download every pregnancy test checker app, I tweak the photos, I take online quizzes, I pray. Just to be so disappointed to see those red streaks when I wipe and know that I’m out for another month. Every pregnancy announcement I see is like a dagger to heart. I think.. I hope that my time is coming soon. I try to smile and be happy as ppl at work say “there’s something in the water everyone is getting knocked up around here” I just walk away. Oh I wishhhhhh. This poem is about this... that feeling that I’ve tried to put into words.
