I will never forget what infertility feels like. I will never forget the heartache. I will never forget the tears. I will never forget the desperation. I will never forget what it feels like to lose hope. I will never forget the stab in your heart when your hear someone else's pregnancy news. Pregnancy news that should have been yours.
I will always remember that while I have been lucky enough to finally get my pregnancy news, to finally be closer to hearing those pitter-patters, there are others who are still waiting. Others who have been waiting far longer. Others who have been through so much more. Infertility is a bitch. It is a mean cold bitch. And I wish no one the misfortune of experiencing it. But. For whatever pain infertility has brought me, it has brought me so many new friends whose support and care have meant so much, and indeed has kept me sane throughout this time in my life. I hope I can do the same for some of you. I will continue to follow your stories, give support and send my love. Indeed I hope and pray that infertility chokes on its own bitterness, jumps out your window and gets hit by a truck.
But. I will understand if you do not visit my blog anymore. I know how hard it is to hear someone's else pregnancy updates. There are days when no matter how happy you are for that person, you cannot deal with hearing about scans, baby tickers and nausea. Been there. I still don't know how I am going to adapt my blog or how I want to write about the next phase of my journey. For now all I want to say is thank you. Thank you to all the people who have read this blog, who have commented, who have followed. You made this last year so much less terrible and so much less scary. You gave me hope and strength. And you were here when I got the best news I could have ever wished for. Thank you. YOU. Yes you.
