Empty Arms, Broken Hearts

Infertility affects one of six couples,
We are one of Them .

This is our journey.... So far .

We fell in love and like many couples we wanted a child,
So we did what everyone does... We tried
and we waited with excited anticipation,
and we waited
and waited
and waited
and waited

We endured testes,
questions,
examinations,
our intimate life was intrued upon and then they called it Infertility
And we cried,
we hurt,
we despaired,
we wondered why

We saw more doctors and specialists,
we endured more testes and now treatments
We held each other close
and we waited...

By now other couples we knew were pregnant
and they had babies beautiful,
incredible miracles..

There are reminders everywhere,
sometimes we send our regrets,
It is not an act of selfichness, it is an act of self- preservation

Our hearts ache, yet,
we hope with every new opportunity and despair when failure visit us once again
It is our longing that keeps us on this path... For now

As the years have gone by we have changes
infertility has become a part of who we are
But we also become stronger as friends,
as lovers,
together and we struggle,
tested to our limits but we survived
and we wait

People sometimes say,
"maybe you just need to relax, "
"it will happen, don´t worry,"
" you´re still young, have you tried this..."

What we need is love,
support,
sensitivity,
understanding,
a shoulder to cry on

Part of this journey will never be over,
the impression on our hearts will last a lifetime
but we will resolve our infertility

~in someway~

we just don´t know the path that will take us there.... Yet

We hoped if you walked a while in our footsteps you might know our heartache and understand our journey...

So Far...
