Today i saw my first pregnancy announcement since my own.
Despite the life growing inside me, as i looked at that sweet picture, i felt a familiar sick sinking feeling. Hm. So she’s pregnant. Good for them??
I was confused honestly. I was pregnant! I “beat” my infertility! Wasn’t that the goal?!
But here’s the thing i realized.
We are always going to be that 1 in 8.
We are always going to have to use ART to conceive.
Just because i am pregnant does not mean we are suddenly a normal fertile couple.
This is something that we’re always going to be dealing with both emotionally and physically, despite how many children I am allowed to carry.
So, i’m sorry i’m not more excited about your baby.
