An extended definition of infertility also includes women who have repeated pregnancy losses ( miscarriages) - women who cannot carry the pregnancy to term. This is because the end result in both cases is the same - the inability to have a baby to love and to hold.



I have a very dear friend that I grew up with. We were inseparable.
We were so alike in so many ways and 1 thing that we had in common was that we so badly to be mom's. We would play dolls for hours.
I always thought she would make a fantastic, loving and special mom.

Thanks to facebook we have been reunited after many years, and she has since gotten married and it was great catching up on years lost. There is 1 thing that we have in common today after all these years - we are so wanting to be moms but its not working out.
She has had failed IVF cycles and is feeling very desperate and sad. I've had the miscarriages and feeling very sad.

We both ask why and where did we go wrong?

I think God sends people along our path who understand. Infertility can be a lonely path. Instead of buying the popular book "What to expect when expecting" we buy the following:



There are too many unanswered questions




I wish I could make things right for people, particularly for those who have experienced the loss of a baby or infertility.
I have a glimpse of how it feels and its lonely. People underestimate the pressure it puts on people and their marriages.
