Forum home Getting pregnant Long term TTC & infertility

just how i feel

Our infertility cannot be seen
But we feel it everyday
The hurt the anguish and despair
Doesn't go away

We are grieving all the time
For something we never had
I never thought that was possible
To lose something that was never there - to feel so sad

We hate to feel this way
We hate to cry these tears
We hate to wonder how long this will take
Will it be months or years?

It kills us to see other families
It's a reminder of what we aren't
We should smile for them and be happy
But we just can't

It hurts us to listen to parents
Saying a crying baby is the pits
We should be so lucky to have a crying baby
We wouldn't mind a bit

We would sit and admire our baby
This amazing thing that we created
We would embrace this baby with so much love
And talk about how long for this we had waited

We wouldn't mind the dirty nappies
Or the many sleepless nights
We would just be grateful to have our bundle
That we would hold so tight

We wouldn't complain about feeding
Or having our lives turned upside down
Nothing could get rid of our smiles
From having our baby around

We hope the wait is over soon
And that our baby will be here
Then the day will come
That we can finally shed happy tears
