This is what worked for me. We tried to get pregnant for 8 months, and at that point, I had decided to stop "trying" and just let live.... how ever, on our last "attempt" after the deed had been done... lol... I just kept very still, i didn't get up, i didn't move... i just kept very still, and fell asleep that way... and then a month later... i had a postitive preg

Cripes girl, I just have to say. WELL SAID! You are quite the writer- I do hope you are working on a book (:
Seriously, I was captivated. Riveted. downright.... entertained? I hope those are right words. Although... I did get the message. I'm sorry you feel that way right now- but remember everything is in the Lords time instead of ours. It may seem like forever but once

please don't feel panicky or frustrated around me :) I want for you to have a baby very very much so...i know you'll be so great at it. I don't ask you about it much anymore because i get really emotional over these things...but i as sooooo cheering for a Holbrook baby. :) Hugs.

2009-12-05T17:39:10.557-08:00

Oh, Nat...I don't even know what to say. Personally if I were you, I wouldn't really like me. I got pregnant and it was an absolute accident. I even took the morning after pill the next morning and Lex still made it into this world.

I have to say that (and I'm sure you've heard) if it doesn't happen there are other ways of having a child. You are going to make

I wish you the best but as a little hint, if you have been on the pill or the shot etc it does takes a long time for the hormones to leave your system completely, especially if you have been using birth control for a number of years. Be patient and remember that things always happen when you least expect them and that those are always the most wonderful surprises!

Best of luck and I

2009-12-03T22:44:14.675-08:00

My mother wasn't able to have children. She had many pregnancies that ended in miscarriage, or had preemies that didn't survive. Her body literally could not handle having a child. I was adopted at age 7 and I must say, my mom is my mom. If you're meant to be a mother, you'll find a way, whether it means to start taking treatments to help in the process of getting pregnant to

oh dearie. you took my thoughts and feelings and made them into beautiful words. i'm dreading the 16th of this month. that's our 3.5 year anniversary of tossing the rubbers. i'm sure you're reading this and hoping and praying you dont end up as far along the infertility road as i am. i know i never thought it would be me. it can be overwhelming thinking about how many YEARS it'

DO believe it is possible! DO own those feelings and yearnings! DO let hope carry you! Be happy when you see those bellies and babies and know that your time is coming! When you let go and ride the faith train, you find you don't actually fall, you soar! Ten years and counting, and I still believe! After three years of aching, I let go and found I had wings to fly! I learned that being a

thanks for your perspective. It helps to know that I am not the only married mormon woman in the world who has not be able to conceive a child to date. My husband and I have been working on this little challenge for about a year now. I don't really have women to talk to about this: both of my sisters have children, my visitng teacher is pregnant with her third (as are it seems half the

Infertility really really really sucks.

Here:

Everywhere in nature we are taught the lessons of patience and waiting. We want things a long time before we get them, and the fact that we want them a long time makes them all the more precious when they come.
~Joseph F. Smith

Be patient.

Happy Wednesday.

2009-12-02T20:20:27.529-08:00

I believe God puts desires in our hearts for a reason and that in His timing, he will fulfill them in the way that will bring Him glory. My cousin was married at 21 and tried for over a decade to get pregnant - at one point, they told her she had endometriosis (sp?) and would never have babies, but guess what? God did an absolute miracle and not only was she healed of that, but she now has a

I'm trying to think of a way to not be hurtful about this, because that's not what I want. I really enjoy reading your blog, and you seem like a wonderful person. But please don't get your hopes up. Despite what everyone else has said, it's just not true that "positive vibes" can make a person pregnant. You can't just wish yourself into having a baby. It is God's

I saw myself in what you wrote here and got it... In a not to be too dramatic but complete shift in who I am being way, hit me in the guts, tears to my eyes, GOT IT. Thanks.

Here's to a new year of baby news for you & me.

2009-12-02T18:38:18.502-08:00

You say it so well. We've been trying for THIRTY months. And what diagnosis have I been given? I have PCOS. There is no cure, there is managing. I'm not infertile, but I'm not ovulating, see, which is quite the problem, see. Combine that with a possibly low (there remains to be a re-testing of the testes) count of the swimmers, and our chances are probably like one in a million. But

You have the heart of a lion. The strength of 1000 soldiers and the prayers of 1063 friends backing you up on this one. It is possible! It will happen and your dreams will be a reality. Just believe.... Let yourself believe. Another great read my dear. Thank you for not being afraid to show us your weakness while finding your strength.

Your mom was gorgeous. How uncanny to see a side profile of her and you next to each other. You two look so much alike. (I hope that is a good thing!)

Hope is good, but hard too. I hate that every month the rug gets yanked out from underfoot, three years and counting- but still the next month that little bit of hope is back. It's good not to squish it. Seriously though, think about a massage, it worked for 2 of my friends.

From someone who has actually started their period while peeing on the stick... I feel your journey man. All I know is at the end of the day I am an infertile mother of twins. And they just needed to come when they did and we cherish every moment because of the wait. And I am still hungry and wish I was not broken. I think putting down the shields is smart. If you can find it in your heart
