I was at a really low spot last night.
That previous rant was not directed at ANYONE.
I love hearing stories about people's pregnancies, the birth, and about children in general.
This doesn't mean I want to stop hearing about them, just be sensitive of those that struggle.
I don't want to hear you tell me all about how FERTILE you are.
So with that, I apologize if that post made anyone feel bad.
It wasn't intended as a guilt trip or to alienate people.
It was meant more as a therapy for me and to educate you.
Now that it's all in the open, I'll probably be posting more.
Ever sat down to blog and can't think of anything to put on your blog because you don't want to reveal too much?
Well, I'm done with that.
If you can't handle it, don't read my blog.
I do have some information for those that are interested though.
Why is it that infertility affects MILLIONS of women but no one speaks of it?
Yes it can be embarrassing, but people need to be educated
and informed.
For all the millions of people, there are not enough doctors who ARE informed about it.
With my last obgyn, I told him my suspicions and all he did was put me on medication- no testing.
I'm the one that had to bring it up because I'd been off the pill for a year and nothing was happening.
That was really frustrating that normal SPECIALIZED DOCTORS like obgyn's aren't even aware. After speaking with someone who is very close to me, I discovered that I needed to go to a Reproductive Endocrinologist.
This boggles my mind- for how many women this affects- there's only really TWO infertility clinic's in Utah. And they help people who also live in Idaho, Montana, Wyoming,
and any other surrounding states.
Depending on your insurance, one should be able to cover you if the other one can't.
The first one is the Utah Center for Reproductive Medicine
The second is the Reproductive Care Center
Both places are specialists and really seem like they are human.
They genuinely want to help people.
Why can't most obgyn's act like that, especially the old ones?
So here's the end of another rant.
Just know I love all of you and know that this is more therapy for me than anything.
Please don't stop sharing your stories.
Thanks for listening.
Big Hugs
ReplyDeleteIm really glad you posted that because I was not aware of PCOD. The world needs to be aware of the challenges others face. Nobody can know what a person or couple goes through with fertility problems unless they go through it themselves. Thanks for saying how you feel! You are one amazing girl Sara! I know that the Lord will bless you for your faith and your loving heart!

Hey Cousin-in-Law, you have a brave and beautiful soul. Families are blessed in different ways with children. For the longest time I was feared with endometriosis. What kept me going was when an old bishop of mine told me that if I never got a chance to be a mother in this life, I would most certainly get the chance in the next life.
ReplyDeleteKeep your chin up. When the time is right and the Lord knows you and Josh are ready, you will be blessed with a child. I may not have met you or ever talked with you, but you are the wife of my dear cousin, and you are in my prayers after I have read these last couple of posts of yours.
You are loved!
