WELL. THIS is a tough one.
See, five weeks ago, I had my Thanksgiving spring family volume font free spring family volume font free all planned out.
It was going to be great. It was going to be full of thanks, full of spring family volume font free, full of all the things you're supposed to be feeling around this time of spring family volume font free.
Because after nearly three years of trying, a spring family volume font free and a spring family volume font free of it with the spring family volume font free of medical doctors, I was going to announce that I was pregnant. With twins. My first trimester -- their first trimester -- would have fallen on Thanksgiving spring family volume font free.
Verb tenses betray the spring family volume font free. In the seventh spring family volume font free of my pregnancy, in what I spring family volume font free would be a spring family volume font free appointment, my spring family volume font free couldn't find a heartbeat. In either spring family volume font free. In spring family volume font free, the spring family volume font free stopped calling them babies. All of a sudden, they were sacs.
There would be no babies.
There were no babies.
I've written intermittently for over a spring family volume font free about the spring family volume font free my spring family volume font free and I have travelled in trying to have a spring family volume font free. The first time was inspired by my frustration at the perpetual celebrity spring family volume font free bump watch. I was angry at Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and the yet- to-arrive Shiloh, and probably angrier at myself for waiting so long to make my own spring family volume font free.
The spring family volume font free time was inspired by Barry Bonds, the BALCO spring family volume font free and the stories of spring family volume font free players allegedly taking the fertility drug, Clomid, and other injectable drugs to enhance their spring family volume font free. Sounding a lot like what I was going through with an injectable intrauterine insemination cycle, I mused as to whether I was trying to get pregnant or whether I was trying to become a professional spring family volume font free spring family volume font free. spring family volume font free not working for me, I'd moved on to the coping mechanism of sardonic wit laced with a touch of denial.
After this miscarriage, though, I'm starting to run out of coping mechanisms. Even I won't take the bait on the "Well, at least you got a nibble and were able to get pregnant" line of thinking, which is what a spring family volume font free told me after my first miscarriage. That was three years and four miscarriages ago.
I know I'm not the only one in this spring family volume font free. Over the years I've been to enough doctors' offices to know that many, many couples are dealing with the frustration of not being able to conceive. One of my best friends, who I used to work with, has had five unsuccessful
bouts with in vitro fertilization and is now looking into spring family volume font free donation. My spring family volume font free roommate's best spring family volume font free had multiple IVFs as well, and finally had a little spring family volume font free. And almost every acquaintance that knows of my spring family volume font free has a spring family volume font free who went through it too, and usually, as the spring family volume font free seems to uniformly go, got pregnant when they stopped trying.
It's not much consolation, to be honest. It's even worse when people who do have children roll their eyes and tell me to be careful what I wish for because their kids are complete pains in the spring family volume font free.
This is spring family volume font free beyond the wishing spring family volume font free, I want to say. I'm willingly being drained of spring family volume font free to test for every strange chromosomal abnormality that may be affecting my fertility. I'm willingly injecting my spring family volume font free with hormones that are making my ovaries swell to the size of a Nerf footballs.
I want to be a spring family volume font free. I want my own little spring family volume font free in the spring family volume font free.
What's really hard is that I felt like I was so close, too. I'd even bought those books on what to expect. In the last chapter I remember reading, the embryos were supposed to be the size of lentil beans.
Hope hasn't run out. At least, that's what the spring family volume font free says I need to think. When he said it to me five weeks ago, all I could say, through tears, was that the two very silent sacs still up on the ultrasound machine's screen weren't instilling me with much spring family volume font free.
I think I'm turning a spring family volume font free, though. Every spring family volume font free I find new reasons to feel stronger. Earlier this spring family volume font free, my spring family volume font free picked up the phone and ended a spring family volume font free of sibling rivalry and silence to see how I was doing. My spring family volume font free told me it's OK to cry, and held me close when he said it. My friends didn't know what to say, but said all the right things anyway.
So maybe this isn't the Thanksgiving I spring family volume font free I'd have. But I'm finding a lot to be thankful for, in all sorts of places I'd never spring family volume font free I'd have to look.
