Dear Uterus--
Today I was thinking about infertility.
Henry and Haley (my surro-twins) mother had undergone several IVF attempts using both her own eggs and an egg donors eggs. They never achieved pregnancy.
Charlie's mother tried IVF and it didn't work. Suffered a miscarriage. Then naturally conceived their daughter, who was born early. After, they tried again and were unable to conceive another child. Then, we ended up both becoming pregnant and due a day a part.
Today I wondered what type of infertility is easiest... if that word can even be used to describe it.
I will live out the rest of my days knowing that there is absolutely no way that I will ever carry a pregnancy again.
Would I rather that or would I rather the endless amount of trying and hoping-- only to be disappointed month after month.
Part of me says knowing for sure it won't happen is easier... but then I think of my second IM and wish that I could just keep trying and hoping.
