The Rollercoaster Ride To Motherhood

Trying?
Still Trying?
Tried?
Contemplating on Trying?
Gave Up?

I was never aware of the emotional toll that couples trying to conceive face up until I decided to try to conceive. I thought, the moment I want to have a child I could have it at the snap of a finger. It seems baby making is as easy as shopping. You see women everywhere with baby bumps.

I was wrong.

I was so wrong.

After fourteen long months of trying and feeling the frustration every time a drop of blood shows up, I finally decided to seek help. I could no longer manage to walk in the dark. I have to satisfy my need to know. To know what is really in store for me.

I had my first visit to my OB Gyne last week. The Transvaginal Ultrasound result is good. The OB Gyne told me that this is a two way road. Many women seek help only to find later on in the treatment that there is really nothing wrong with her. The husband also plays a part in the work up. That he should also seek the help of the Urologist and have himself checked. A simple first step is the Semen Analysis.

We are on our first step of the journey.

For some, this journey has subjected them into all sorts of emotions. But for me, I am just beginning.

And I am hopeful.
