It never occurred to me that there was more behind it. I have an aunt and uncle who never had children (they always say that they never wanted them) but it makes me wonder if maybe they were unable and that was a cover up.<br /><br />I just wish that more people could be more open and that it wouldn't be such a hush hush topic in society.<br /><br />Thanks for your nice comments!peghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01864584121635753142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7208580309654551629.post-49863553905063866942011-04-30T11:23:51.775-07:002011-04-30T11:23:51.775-07:00Great post!

Since we started trying, and failing, to have a baby, I've started noticing and wondering about things like this. Like, my grandpa was an only child, which was awfully unusual back then. I assume now that his parents had trouble, and I know that he did. Makes me grateful for modern reproductive medicine (& adoption agencies, too!). Thanks for taking the time to bust these myths!Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319707316191000140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7208580309654551629.post-35022047138436824352011-04-28T15:11:07.533-07:002011-04-28T15:11:07.533-07:00So far I've only done one.

I'm going to do today's in a few minutes. Hopefully stop myself from stressing that I"m not ovulating and that the pills the oncologist gave me are stopping me from ovulating. I took a OPK today (twice actually) and it was negative both times - has me worried that i"m not going to ovulate... I need to relax. :)peghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01864584121635753142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7208580309654551629.post-52516769555363807212011-04-28T13:31:21.494-07:002011-04-28T13:31:21.494-07:00"If it truly was a higher power who was decid..."If it truly was a higher power who was deciding, this is what would happen: My husband and I, who would make wonderful parents and have the resources and love to give to a child, would be parents. My friends who are struggling with fertility and conception would have children by now. Children would not be born to people who abuse them."<br /><br />Exactly! This infuriates me. I want to say to these people, "Oh, really? The loving, benevolent God you worship doesn't want me to be happy? This kind God of yours doesn't want me to achieve my deepest desires? Instead He wants me to cry myself to sleep every time a friend becomes pregnant and I'm still childless? He wants me to live with this huge, aching void in my heart? If so, then your god sucks."<br /><br />And I can totally relate to what you're saying about the relaxation thing. Telling me to relax is like telling me to stop breathing. But I do enjoy the meditations and they manage to keep me fairly calm while I'm doing them. :)<br /><br />How do you like them so far?Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14101535107377688458noreply@blogger.com
