Things happen in life for a reason and I believe it's to be taught a lesson.
Joe tells me day in and day out, God won't deal us anything we can't handle.
When Joe lost his job the first time, it was unexpected and really sucked, but we got through it. The second time really sucked, but we breezed through like champs!
Through the miscarriages I felt like I hit a wall, but we stuck together and here we are still trying.
The ups and downs, it's what builds character, right?
So, after getting knocked down time and again, Joe and I are good, caring people and now we have all this freakin' character, but I really just want a break...
My personality doesn't need anymore character!
I think I've finally hit the brick wall that just won't let in any more character...
Long story short, turns out we probably won't be that lucky in having children...
Things are more complicated than we thought when all this started.
The part that hurts the most is that the only thing stopping us from continuing our journey to have a baby is the fact we can't afford the insemination treatments.
I was really hoping and prayin and crossing my fingers so damn tight that this wouldn't be that hard and a simple pill will get me pregnant.
I used to watch these shows like The Little Couple and Guiliani and Bill, and my heart goes to them because they were trying to get pregnant and went through IVF and all that, but I am so sure that by allowing the cameras the follow them the freakin network paid for everything for them. What about the average person, never in a million years will I be able to pay for IVF. Thousands and thousands of dollars that I simply don't have. How do these offices expect average people to afford these things. I thank god that I've only had to pay a $15.00 copay a few times a week, plus a few other odds and ends medications. My total would have been well over 5 grand without insurance.
Unreal.
I simply just don't have the fight in me anymore, and as bad as I wanna keep my chin up, I'm just heartbroken..
So, I guess it's about that time to call it quits with these doctors visits. Instead, we'll pay 12.99 on Luther Vandross Ultimate Collection, and keep trying to make babies the old fashioned way and maybe one day we'll get lucky?
Keep your fingers crossed...
Awww Denise,
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear you are having so many problems. Its so unfair for those people who dont want kids to keep popping them out so easily. I know this is a little bit down the road for you... but would you and Joe ever consider adoption? Even from the USA. There are so many children and babies who need good homes. And honestly? I think you and Joe are the best kind-hearted people for the job. I know you could love any child like it is your own with no problem..... Pray on it sis.... the answer will come...Love you!
We would consider adoption, but we really want to have our own children...it's just getting harder and harder because everyone is getting pregnant except me...it's hard to be happy for them ya know?
ReplyDeleteOh no, I completely understand. I couldn't imagine being in your shoes. I really hope it works out for you. God has a plan for you. As you know....
ReplyDeleteThank you! :-)
