Hi hrm,

As I was reading your thread, I was touched by your sadness about having a baby.

Although I wasn't exactly in the same sitch, I can understand your sadness.

My H and I had a very difficult time conceiving. Our road to children throughout the years included a miscarriage, surgery, fertility treatments(shots in the stomach are fun!), and losing a baby at 21 weeks. That was the darkest time in my life, even darker than all this MLC crap.

I remember my H saying, "Maybe we just aren't meant to be parents." I know where he was coming from. Sadness. Frustration. Disappointment.
I told him "If X (a family we know that has 4 kids and are terrible parents) has kids, there is no way we weren't meant to have kids."

I remember catching myself giving pregnant woman and new moms dirty looks when I was out in public. I wanted a baby more than anything.

I knew in my heart that I would be a mom some day, and I was right.

After we lost our baby, the doctor told me to take a break in trying to conceive.

4 months later I became pregnant with S4. This was without "trying".
Maybe there is a lesson for me in there?

H if you believe that you will be a mom some day, you will be! Just don't focus on it so much that you lose sight of other things.

I do believe good things come to those who wait smile
