Other Worlds

If I lived in an ideal world…
I would have 4 children
I would have started before 30 and end before 40
They would be boys and girls
All healthy and happy
If I lived in an ideal world

If I lived in a good world…
I would have 2 children
I would have one now and another before 40
They would be boys or girls
Both healthy and happy
If I lived in a good world

If I lived in a nice world…
I would have a child
I would be pregnant now or at least before I’m 40
It would be a boy or a girl
All healthy and happy

If I lived in a nice world

Why I'm Writing this Blog

    According to babycenter.com, 80 percent of couples get pregnant within 6 months and 85 percent within one year.  They say that if you do not get pregnant naturally within 6 months or a year (depending on age) you should seek help.  We have been trying for two and a half years and counting, and we can't afford a specialist or adoption.
    Infertility is a lonely road.  It is a roller coaster of hope and heartbreak that is largely invisible to the outside world.  This is why I am writing this blog.  It serves to provide an outlet for my own heartache.  I also hope that by sharing my own struggles I may provide encouragement to others in the same situation.
    Perhaps I can make the road a little less lonely for someone else.
