I have an family member and their spouse who are dealing with infertility. Mother's Day and Father's Day are particularly hard for them, not having kids while many of their friends and family members have kids. Lately they've been saving up for and using fertility medications.
Well, I'm rooting for them. I hope very much that they're able to have children, or even just one child if that's all they can manage.
And if it turns out they can't, I don't think any less of either of them. I don't think it's some punishment or cosmic joke, I don't think it's some deficiency or fault of either of them. Their fertility issues just are what they are. They're both good people. They've stuck together through thick and thin, and children or no children they're great for each other.
Awwwww....Martin, you have made me cry (not that it is so difficult with all the meds! LOL!). At some point, we all need to do something together, it just has seemed that since November, Mark is hardly ever home and I have been possessive of what little time we have together. While I am grateful to not be working as the side effects are horrible, it does make it hard on Mark, and he has been working a LOT of overtime to pay for treatments. He is working out of town, AGAIN, and is only home two days a week.
