I, too, have struggled with infertility for years upon years and I can wholeheartedly relate to your analogy. <br /><br />I have been putting off the call to the RE's office for one year this month. I am not exactly sure what I am fearful of, other than if I don't call then I still have hope that *one day* in the future this might work. <br /><br />If I call and the treatments don't work, then I don't know what I will be hopeful for anymore. <br /><br />I'm not sure if that makes sense.<br /><br />Thanks for putting your thoughts and feelings out there. It's comforting to know there is a kindred spirit out there.jamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11285219839998541681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897573703113153506.post-56675496767095427112009-08-31T14:13:02.334-05:002009-08-31T14:13:02.334-05:00I was thinking of you and how I'd not seen a p...I was thinking of you and how I'd not seen a post in my reader in a little bit. I came over to check up on ya! Here is this post! I don't know how I missed it with the others. So, I apologize that I'm just now reading.<br /><br />I so know and understand where you are coming from. I don't want you to lose hope though. I'm claiming in Jesus' name that because you have the heart's desire to be a mother - YOU WILL BE! I'm believing and trusting His word that you will have that desire fulfilled. Try not to run too much farther from the trying - let Christ show you His love, mercy, and hope to help you through. He wants to. I know you know this, but by leaning on Him you will enable yourself to move from fear to faith. Big hugs to you. I don't say these things like they are easy because for nine years, they have been the hardest things for me to do; not to mention a daily choosing. Love ya, girlie.Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10742596711602267830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897573703113153506.post-25756370784492215592009-08-29T19:16:19.427-05:002009-08-29T19:16:19.427-05:00I am with you on that.

I think you seem to have it all in perspective. One must find happiness in each step along the way -- count one's blessings, so to speak.<br /><br />We must do what is in our power to meet our goals but realize that some things in life are not within our control.<br /><br />Wishing you strength and success in your journey. <br /><br />Lisa Lipkind Leibow<br />www.LLLeibow.comLisa L.

Sometimes it is ...Stace, so glad to see your post! Sometimes it is painful admitting the truth but you know that we all love you. Some of us may not understand your circumstances but we understand your heart. I can relate to being at a stand still because of fear; fear of the unknown or especially fear of the answer we may receive. I say go for it!! Muster up the courage and call your doctor and make an appointment. Look fear straight in the face and take yet another step, a step of faith. You are one of the strongest women of faith that I have ever met. You are an example and a witness. You are running; running the race God has called you to run.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05045631253291559833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897573703113153506.post-65079415436216397042009-08-27T03:20:24.539-05:002009-08-27T03:20:24.539-05:00Stacey!

Sometimes I wish I could just see the finish line!<br />As for avoiding your RE, I get that too, I want a baby, but I'm tired of the work that women like us have to do in order to make it happen. But I try to think of seeing my RE as running in a hurdles race, once you're over that first one it will get easier.<br />Now close your eyes, take a deep breath and before you can over think it just pick up the phone and do it!<br />(((hugs)))Sharonhttp://www.mindfulmeandering.co.zanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897573703113153506.post-80289937128828111702009-08-26T22:05:43.940-05:002009-08-26T22:05:43.940-05:00Oh, Stace....this hurts my heart.

Don't know if the two are related, but it seemed you had something to say. <br />And say it, you did! I think the running analogy is a great one! It seems that you are contemplating your running habits and your place in life right now very well...that you can see things you are running from, and also what you are running toward. You are running to get the prize, as the Word says. And that does not necessarily mean the "prize" of a baby, but the prize of knowing Jesus better, and coming through this journey stronger and farther ahead than where you started. Keep running, girl, toward your Savior.

I am praying for you have the grace to do what it is that God is calling you to do right now. If you don't mind me asking, how do you monitor your days of fertility? I know that two years ago we learned a new way of monitoring my days of fertility and days of infertility that just brought us to a better understanding of what was going on with my body. <br />Just know that God will give you the resolve to handle what ever course of action he is calling you to!Life In Mazeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13801595374105494781noreply@blogger.com
