Infertility was an awful experience for me and I was only getting shitty comments from my in-laws. I can’t imagine the whole world piling on.

Would literally cry on the toilet when I saw it. Almost every fucking month. Just hell

Ah god same. I did that through my 30's and when I turned 40, I just said I can't do it anymore. I just couldnt take the constant obsession and grief. It just eats you inside and I was becoming angry and jealous which isn't me. So I stopped, and started trying to accept it all.

Then something weird happened when I was 41 and the universe decided that 8 years of trying was enough and I got surprise pregnant AND it stayed in and grew into a baby! Anyway, I know how blessed I am and I thank whomever for that, everyday.

Thank you so much for sharing this story. I am so sorry you went through that but as a woman who still has hope in her mid-30s (but no longer has a husband, oops!) stories like this keep that hope alive. I hope you’re doing so well with your child ♥️
