It’s been pretty quiet on here for the past few weeks. To be honest, I just haven’t felt like writing. I haven’t felt like thinking or talking about infertility. I’m getting tired of waiting and more than anything I just feel hopeless. The fertility drugs aren’t working and the wait is driving us crazy. To make matters worse, pregnancies are being announced on Facebook like they’re going out of style!
Can any of you relate?
So I gave myself a few weeks of pity parties/denial/re-decorating and now it’s time to move forward. I will choose joy and continue to believe that God’s timing is perfect. I won’t worry about my biological clock because I serve the Author of Time.
your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. Psalm 139:16
Thanks for all your prayers lately!-Sarah

I can relate. We are riding a 3 cycle post-laparoscopy and endometrial biopsy wave. My artistic ‘practise’, health and holiday are what I plan on focussing on during the next while. I wish you all the best to give your mind a rest.
My post is from my other wordpress account… my infertility blog is: http://notsoeasyjournal.wordpress.com/
Please know that while your journey is unique and important, you are not alone. We are also struggling with infertility. We just celebrated our second anniversary and along with it our second miscarriage and fears that my cancer may be back. I know I understand how hard it is to see all the baby photos and attend baby parties…to talk with close friends whose hopes and pregnancies are budding. Please take heart knowing that as lonely as your journey is, you are not as alone as you feel. Sending you strength and hope.
I know how difficult this can be. I recently deleted by FB account because I couldn’t take it anymore, and it wasn’t worth the added pain. It was liberating to get away from FB. You are in my thoughts and prayers often. He does have a plan for you!

I don’t think anyone of us can say we do not relate … and I totally agree this road of infertility are so lonely and I find no matter how much I surround myself (via internet) with others that struggle so much that I still feel so alone but it saves me everyday to be able to come here and be with others that understand and try and support others coz that is what makes it easier for me to move on to the next day, next treatment …
Thank you for sharing
Thank you for the follow; it’s hard to find others that are in the same boat… and understand.
here’s to ‘us’ for a successful 2012 and a positive result after the 2 week wait
Oh my Sarah, can I relate….wow, yes. I have given up looking at Facebook – it’s just an emotional wreck for me. And, I have made the decision to not attend baby showers, young birthday parties, and the like. I’m attempting to continue to “rejoice with those who rejoice” as I weep through the process. My prayers go out to you! And, as hard as it is, keep your eyes on Jesus and His plan – it’ll all be worth the wait. (I hate it when people say that to me…I kinda want to slap myself!
)
Sarah, I understand your feelings, but be encouraged.. God’s timimg is perfect and He sees you and cares. Keep looking up..This is a beautiful blog site.. I believe that many women, as well as couples, will be blessed. Thanks for sharing. -Faith
Thank you for following my blog, I signed up for your emails too!
You are not alone and I wish you strength and hope to get through this difficult time.
Take Care
I haven’t given up completely on having our own children, but after 2 years with no success, then 2 miscarriages in 4 months, I’m making other things my priority. I truly believe that there is a bigger plan than mine, and I just have to be patient. I’ll keep praying for all of us to be happy, regardless of how our plans turn out.
PS: I missed your posts, and glad to see you back.
I absolutely can relate. It’s beyond frustrating to be struggling with infertility while pregnancies are being announced all around you. It makes you feel very alone…& broken. I wonder constantly why my body just doesn’t seem to work right. I just wanted to say thank you for blogging your experience. It’s comforting to know that someone else out there understands. You both are in my prayers. <3
Thank you so much for sharing. “Abram” and I were just talking about how lonely this journey can feel. It seems like we’re the only ones dealing with infertility. Thanks for walking through this with us!
I can completely relate. Sometimes each day feels like a new struggle in this journey of fertility. You get through one day and think the next will be better only to feel beat down again. But we must go on. Each day will be better. He has a plan for us and even though it may not seem like it, especially on those extra tough days, but His plan will be spectacular!
