Why is it that people with children always have stories about someone they know or someone they heard about having a happy ending when it comes to the struggle with conception? While we know when they share these stories they are just trying to offer us hope, but, it inevitably just leads to more depression when one of these stories does not happen for us.
We cannot tell you how many times we have heard yarns spun about the following;
“My friend struggled to have a baby for years then decided to adopt. They found out they were getting a baby and that same weekend found out they were pregnant!”
Or.
“I heard about a couple who were told they could never have their own child; low and behold they just had their 3rd one last Christmas.”
Or.
“They just kept having miscarriage after miscarriage, they gave up. Then, finally on their 10th try, they had a lovely daughter.”
Or.
“I had a good friend of mine who was also diagnosed infertile; they could not find the problem. Turns out she just needed to relax, so she went on vacation and they got pregnant.”
While these stories are quite common, we all have probably heard variations on all of them. Which ones are true compared to which ones are urban legend is yet to be seen. We personally have not met anyone from these tales who arrived at the storybook ending.
Even though our trials read like a great tragedy and while our ending has not been completely written yet, please stop trying to write it for us.
