Support for those "wishing to be" moms

[crs7568]

I just wanted to give a little support to those women who are trying to get pregnant and having no luck. I struggled with infertility problems and a miscarriage and remember well the pain of not being able to have children on Mother's Day. Fortunately for me, I have two beautiful daughters today that were conceived naturally but I defintely am familiar with the feeling of sorrow that all too many women experience on this day. Keep your chin up!

thank you...it's very hard to stay positive when all of our friends continue to announce pregnancies. i'm hoping someday very soon that we will be able to announce our own!

happy mommies day to all our DIS moms!!

Thats very sweet crs. Wish the best to all you ladies (and men) going through that, it is very difficult.

My {{{HUGS}}} and prayers as well to all of you.

My thoughts and prayers are with all trying. It is so very difficult to do alot of holidays when you struggle with infertility. Shot is what finally did it for me...but it was a long journey, glad to report I have 3 beautiful children. I pray everyone is as lucky as I was and am.

I remember the sad feelings on Mother's Day too. I've been blessed with 2 very healthy, very active in-vitro children. They are both miracles and proof that there is hope. I wish you all the best.

My best to everyone trying!
I miscarried my first baby, and I remember how awful that following Mother's Day left me feeling. I went on to have two healthy, happy children. May everyone who wants a child be so blessed.

Thanks for this post. Every Mother's Day I get a little depressed, but then I remember that there must be some greater purpose as why I can't have children. Maybe it is because someone else out there is going to have my child and will not want them and I just have to wait for the right time to foster and/or adopt that child.

It's nice to know that other people do think about us also!

THANK YOU!!!!

{{{{HUGS}}}} to everyone today!

You may not be mothers technically, but in your hearts you already are
So Happy Mother's Day to all of you who are still trying!

What a nice thought CRS!!!

And I too want to wish you women(and men) all the best. For some encouraging news...I struggled to have my second, and for a while I really thought DS would be an only child. But(thanks to Chlomid) I ended up conceiving DS#2 on Mothers Day, 4 yrs ago.

We tried for 3 long years...started on our honeymoon in WDW. We needed to have a little help from the fertility doc and BAM! it happened. Our 1st son came 2 months early though and it was touch or go. What surprised me most was that I really thought he would be the only child after all we went through but then BAM AGAIN! on our own we conceived another beautiful little boy 1 year later. We are truly blessed and pray for others trying too.

My best friend and her husband have struggled to become parents for 6+ years since she had a tubal pregnancy. I always feel a little guilty around her on holidays since I have a wonderful son, but by my choice lives with my parents.

Very thoughtful crs. Many good thoughts for all of you! {{HUGS}}

 

[browneyes]

Good luck to everyone trying to conceive. {{hugs}}

Wow, I could've written the above words, except that I went on to have 2 beautiful sons.

I do remember my almost-first Mother's Day....a few months after my miscarriage. Now it's just a distant memory.

I hope all who are trying to conceive will be successful. *hugs* I do remember what it was like.

thank you for your kind thoughts. I miscarried twins in January, and have been feeling quite sad today. Yours is the only acknowledgement I received. I guess DH doesn't understand.

anyway, Happy Mother's Day all!

 

[crs7568]

lil mermaid, I am so sorry for your loss. It is a terrible feeling and I think that many people, husbands included, sometimes do not know what to say. I hope that today wasn't too terrible and that you have a better day tomorrow.

What a lovely thought CRS & so well said too.

I too struggled with infertility for some years & was heartbroken every time another friend announced their pregnancy with such joy.

I too have been blessed with 2 children, both conceived naturally & am so thankful for them

I'd also like to say to all of you prospective Mum's out there to hang in there & if you have faith in the Lord above, then leave it to Him.

I spent years in & out of doctors surgeries etc, all with no gain, but in the end I left it up to the Lord above & he blessed me with 2 boys.

So, hang in there & whatever you do, DON'T GIVE UP!!

Thank you!
