Two starcrossed lovers in search of a poopy diaper. Join us on our adventures through IVF, recurrent miscarriage, and finally...life on the other side as parents.
Honestly, this probably WOULD be just as bad! Can you imagine if you kept having unplanned pregnancies that you couldn't afford? Or think if you had this problem in a country where birth control wasn't readily available to most people.
A family friend gave their youngest up for adoption because they already had 4 kids they couldn't afford. Completely heartbreaking. I can't even imagine that kind of pain. Of course, I always wondered why the hubby didn't get snipped, but it's none of my business.
It seems as though it would be much easier to prevent an unplnned pregnancy. The options for preventing pregnancy are endless. (And if all else fails, don't have sex.)
On the other hand...our options are expensive, difficult, and do not have a 99.9% success rate.

We have a platonic marriage for the majority of the time.
It sucks to not have the family you want, but it also sucks to have a husband I can't touch.
*OR* you could be me and get the "best of both worlds." I get knocked up SUPER easy and THEN my babies die. . .
Lucky me.
Although I will say, respectfully, to the gals with the "woe is me" stories here, you can prevent unwanted pregnancy. Super-fertile-but-can't-managed-to-fertilize-a-good-egg-me managed to use fertility awareness method for 8 years without once getting KU on accident.
We've been moving forward toward our donor egg cycle at what feels like a snail's pace. We found a donor we really liked, and w...

Mo and Will are a couple who traveled a much steeper than expected road to parenthood. First came love, then came marriage, then came 6 IVFs and 6 miscarriages. Fortunately, IVF #7 finally stuck in 2012. We are the proud and astounded parents of a 2.11-year-old girl and an enthusiastic boxer.
Heheheheh. My mom tried to tell me this once, honestly trying to be comforting! Um, no. Not so much...
ReplyDeleteAWESOME - love it! I've so heard that before. Fantastic job!
