In reply to Megan. I'm so, so sorry, Megan! It is such a hard thing to go through, and people really don't understand it unless they've gone through it themselves. I hope that things turn around for you soon, and you're welcome! You definitely aren't alone!!

I cannot thank you enough for writing this, and then publishing it. How difficult that must have been, to relive each moment and then to share with the world. My husband and I are on that same roller coaster right now and to be honest, I feel like I’m overreacting each month when the negative test shows and the tears flow. Or when we are around my family, whom I love with every ounce of my being, and all of my cousins have children and many are currently pregnant again. I left Christmas Day early, sobbing, because my cousin said “Just be thankful to be able to sit still” when one of the kids didn’t want help from me. Oh, what I wouldn’t give to be exhausted and chasing after a little. I know she meant no harm by the comment but boy, oh boy, did it ever hit me hard. I know we are not the only married couple dealing with infertility but I have felt so incredibly alone until now. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. God Bless.

This is the best thing I have ever read!! My husband & I have been trying for a little over 2 years and have had no luck. All our friends & some family are becoming pregnant that it is so emotionally draining for us. This post made me feel we were not alone! Prayers one day we will be able to make this dream a reality❤️

In reply to Joanna. I'm sorry you're struggling with this. It's so, so hard. We have friends who had a diagnosis of PCOS and after a few years and IVF, they now have two beautiful twins! Whatever happens, it will work out! Just have faith!

I’m so thankful I saw this post today from Pinterest. My husband and I have been struggling for almost a year so far with my diagnosis of PCOS and infertility. Starting on clomid next cycle. So many emotional days. Trying to be hopeful through it all, so I really appreciate when you said ‘whether it happens through pregnancy or adoption, you will be a parent someday’. So true. God has the ultimate plan. And it will be worth it. Thank you for the encouragement.

In reply to Jamie. If you don't get pregnant after 12 months of trying, you are considered clinically infertile. I'm sorry that you are still struggling and I wish you the best of luck.

15months is not considered infertility. 12 months is considered entirely normal for even a perfectly healthy couple. I only wish it had taken 3 months beyond “normal” to conceive.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars and 6yrs. Still no baby.
