What If We Looked At Infertility TOTALLY Different!?
Infertility SUCKS! I know that seems like a rather harsh way to start off a blog post… BUT.. It’s the absolute truth. Infertility is emotionally draining. It tests your hope and faith in God. And for a lot of women, it is even physically painful. So yeah… like I originally said, it sucks! But as horrible as infertility is, I have a lot of “what if” questions concerning it. Now, these aren’t your typical “what if” questions dealing with infertility like: “What if I didn’t have

All I Want For Christmas Is TWO Pink Lines…
This is the main thought that I’ve had everytime I thought about what I wanted for Christmas. Can I be honest with you all? These last few weeks leading up to Christmas have been one BIG emotional roller coaster filled with all kinds of twists, turns, loops and dips. I’m pretty sure that I have felt every emotion imaginable. I’ve gone from happy to sad to laughing to crying, to frustration to joy – all within a 3 week period. And all because I know 2 pink lines won’t be my Ch

IT’S OK TO CRY
There will be times on your Journey to Motherhood where you just want to be alone and all you can do is cry. THAT. IS. OK.!! Do not go along this journey thinking that it’s NOT OK to cry. Doing so does not make you weak or any less of a Christian! It just makes you human. It is OK to cry and have a moment (or even a day). Just don’t stay in that place too long. You don’t want to give the enemy any room to wreak more havoc. So, after you’ve cried, start to pray and worship the

Sometimes You Have to Encourage Yourself
SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO ENCOURAGE YOURSELF… There will be times on your journey to Motherhood where you will feel TOTALLY ALONE. You will feel like God isn’t hearing you, your doctor is only discouraging you, your friends and family don’t understand you, and the pain/sorrow is about to overtake you. When you get to this point you have a choice… You can let your negative feelings and emotions ruin your day (and possibly your week, month and even year)…. OR…. you can choose to en

PLEASE Stop Asking Us When….
National Infertility Awareness Week Day 1:
PLEASE Stop Asking Us When….. There are 1 in 8 women that are on a journey to fertility. This means that there’s a very great chance that you are close to someone that deals with this issue. This also means that you should be extremely careful when you ask your friend or family member “why haven’t you had a baby yet?” This question is nerve wrecking for ANY woman who has not become pregnant within society’s time frame. But for a wom

Ignore The Ignorance and Stay Focused
I don’t usually do this but….. We’re going to do things a little differently in this blog post. Today, we’re going to get personal. Instead of just giving you advice, I’m going to tell you a personal story THEN give you some advice… So here goes….. This morning I called my Dr’s office to see if I could change the date of my OBGYN appointment but I couldn’t. There were no openings. So as I’m getting ready to hang up, the appointment scheduler says THIS to me “Geri, Listen, thi

Trust The Process, Trust GOD!
FACT: THE BABIES ARE COMING!!!! This journey of trying to have a baby while mentally, physically and emotionally dealing with infertility is a difficult one. In all honesty it is one of the most difficult things you will probably ever have to go through. Getting your period month after month while hoping and praying for the opposite, that’s hard. Taking multiple fertility treatments with absolutely no results, that’s harder. Going through a miscarriage… Knowing your precious
