Hi Everyone

I wish to introduce myself as a new and supportive member. I have been married for almost two years and have a beautiful, cheery face daughter.
I came across this forum during my lunch break and knew that i had to put down my thoughts about my empathy towards those who suffer with infertility. I understand (as a woman) how frustrating it is and the hells of yearning for the chances to have just that touch of life created by you. I recall longing to have a child of my own ever since I was a little girl and I waited 22 years to make that dream come true.
During the first stage with my husband (partner back then) we both agreed to have children within the early years of marriage. I had a lot of relatives and friends who would fall pregnant by a click of a finger and thought it would be easy for me too. Though it wasn’t! I had tried month after month after month by the time it hit my forth attempt I then decided that perhaps I couldn’t conceive. I remember the feeling at the time was so tensed and even got to the stage where I refuse to even cope with the normal daily chores. Just washing dishes - I would stand there and burst out crying it was an awful feeling.
But a miracle happened on month 7; I purchased a pregnancy test (for the dredth time) that read positive. I had to look a second time to make sure I was reading it clearly. To my surprise it was a definite positive.
I can only thank God for giving me the best gift I ever received. I will confirm that she is just the most gorgeous little angel I have seen.
To those who have fertility problems my deepest sympathy goes out to you. *HUGS* Please *don’t* give up! I hope you keep trying because miracles do happen and it may happen to you if you stay positive. *HUG* FROM ME TO YOU…………….
