last day

as national infertility awareness week comes to a close. i just wanted to just say a few things. one is to all you struggling with infertility dont give up. keep going. yes it is hard and yes you will have bad days but dont give up. if you feel like adoption is for you move on to adoption. just dont give up on your dream of becoming a parent.

for those who are just starting your journey i have a couple things i want to share with you. look to see if your doctor does a preconceive appointment. that is basically where you will go in and talk to them about trying to have a baby. they may ask you if you have any concerns of becoming pregnant. they may even ask you how your periods has always been and so on. but that appointment will be so worth it. because they can give you a time line to try on  your own. some doctors may tell you if you are not pregnant in 6 months that they may run some tests or start you on clomid. they even may go ahead and set up a test of two at that appointment if you have any concerns at all. dont be scared to go to the doctor and talk to them about trying to have a baby. truthfully i was scared to go but i did any ways. it took me a couple of doctors to find someone who was welling to help us. but we did all that we could with that doctor. then we had to move and start all over again. but dont be scared. also make sure that both you and your boyfriend or husband is ready to try to conceive. dont start trying on your own and hide it from them because that isnt good for a relationships and secrets do have a way of coming out. also once you get in to see a doctor and that doctor doesnt listen either stay on their butts to make them listen to you or find another doctor one until you find the right one for you. never let a doctor tell you that you do not know your own body because we as a person know our body better then anyone else. we know when something is off and so on. also go to the library and check out some books on fertility and infertility. there is a good i recommend to all females out there to read and that is taken charge of your fertility. it is really good in help you learn when you ovulate and how to listen to your body. there are others books out that you can read but that is really good. i still have my book and i read over it every so often. dont be afraid to ask questions or do research on subjects. the more you can learn about  infertility the easier it may be for you. i know doing research on things has helped me out so much. also talk to your insurance company and find out what all they will pay for with infertility. that should be one of the first things you need to find out so that way you will know and not find out later on down the road when your insurance didnt pay for something and you are paying out of the pocket.

i am sure there is probably more i could share with you but at this moment that is all i can think of. but if there is anything else i think of later i will write about it.

baby dust to all who are trying to become pregnant and to those going thru adoption baby dust to you. i hope and pray that we all get our bundle of joy soon.
