Another Year

Tomorrow is my birthday. I will be 26. Usually I love my birthday but this year I wish it wasnt happening. When we started trying for a baby I thought for sure I would be a mom by the time I reached 25.

Yes I am young and have time on my side but just because I am young doesnt mean that I am less infertile. We have been trying for 2 yrs 5 mos. Most people in this 20s dont take that long. So no I do not want to hear:

  • "but you are sooo young"
  • "just give it time"
  • "just enjoy being young and free"
  • "are you sure you want kids?"
  • "enjoy being alone with your husband"
  • or any other phrase similar to these

Being infertile at a young age is like a double slap in the face, I think. One blow for being infertile and another blow for watching everyone your age pop them out one after the other

Yes world even though I am young my heart aches just like any other
