Infertility Journey - When the rain comes

[NinjaRacoonDelta2]

Disease? Infertility is a BLESSING! It means you don't feel the burden of potentially bringing someone into this Hell that is Earth, you don't have to worry about getting pregnant when you didn't plan for it, some people even pay to become infertile!

[AllieLejeune]

I have found out that I have many many contributing factors.....

Endometriosis, Adneomyosis, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. Then to top it off.....I have inherited blood clotting factors = Factor V Leiden (single mutation), MTHFR 677T (single mutation), Weak positive Lupus Anticoagulant. This is just the stuff I can remember off the top of my head. Good Luck everybody! ~*~*~*~* Baby Dust to all *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I HEART YOU...

[GettingThereGreen]

Thank you for creating and sharing this video.

we've been TTC 2 years.

[AshesOfLove89]

I can't find anyone who understands.

[daizygrl]

TTC 4 years... thanks for posting your video I do not feel so alone.

[uabcjgrad2006]

What a beautiful song! I've felt the rain for 6 years. I have a 9 year old son, but TTC #2 has been a journey! I am still blessed.

[Elizabeth01010101]

awesome video

[StressedChihuahua]

Thank you so very much for posting this. May God bless you and your husband.

[thethingsineversaid]

is this third day?

[wishing42]

yes

[stashsgirl]

This is just beautiful... As someone who has been struggling with "unexplained infertility" and recurrent pregnancy loss for over 11 years, this video really resonated with me. Thank you for posting it. I wish you, and your husband, peace and hopes that the rest of your journey is a short one... that you finally realize your dream! God bless you! ~ Andrea G. Magda

[AllieLejeune]

I have been dealing with it for 9 yrs. Mine is also unexplained. Thanks for posting I don't feel so alone now!

@AllieLejeune Hi I have a very long story...We have a 25 yr old and a 24 yr old, then after a change of heart, we decided to try again at age 34. We tried non stop for 8 years and 8 miscarriages. Broken hearted to say the least. We finially did embryo donation in 2004 and had a perfect son in Feb 2005 almost 2 weeks overdue. Then we found an egg donor in 2007 and had beautiful big healthy twin girls in Jan 2008. Our hearts have been overjoyed. Don't ever give up! Love & hugs, Karen

[HippyWitchGal]

@oldmamaoftwins And just curious...what did it cost? Science has come a long way, yes, but a lot of us cannot afford it.

[nursevangogh]

The only thing I don't like about the video is how it says that "infertility is a disease of the reproductive system". While this may be the case in some people it is not the case in all. Some women have blood clotting issues, some have an iodine deficiency, some have the rh factor, for some women their biological clocks have simply run out and they don't have any good eggs left - none of those are 'infections of the reproductive system'.

[wishing42]

Maybe that is not the best wording ( I took it from other websites as I learned about infertility) but what I was trying to say is that infertility is not someone's fault. You don't choose to not be able to have children. Most people don't do something to themselves that cause this problem. Glad you liked the rest of the film.

[nursevangogh]

I agree. A lot of people try to blame it on the infertile couple by saying things like, "you should just relax!" or "maybe you shouldn't have waited so long!"

My husband and I are both young so luckily we haven't heard the last comment but I always hear the first one.

[wishing42]

@nursevangogh Very true. I guess the point that I was trying to make is that is not the mother's fault.

[Winter077]

Infertility effects everyone. A friend of mine who I loved very much stopped talking to me after I became pregnant. It was like losing a sister.

[wishing42]

I am so sorry. That sounds hard for both of you!

[Winter077]

Question: What percentage of infertile couples actually become pregnant later on in life? Or rather, how many remain infertile for their whole lives?

[wishing42]

I am not sure. Many couples don't report live births to the fertility clinics and data is hard to find. But I know there are those...my aunt is one of them. She and her husband have adopted 4 girls

[Heldfdf]

wow beautiful - stay strong together

[rasavilasini]

crying here...lovely thanks. A great reminder of my husbands love and support over these past 7 years of TTC our 1st child...

[wishing42]

Your welcome, glad it spoke to you...wishing you the best for your baby dreams

[eaglemedicine1]

that was beautiful

[DWD420]

me and my husband are suffering through infertility, its the worst thing i have ever have delt with and if i did not have his love and support i know that i would not be able to continue on this hard road!

[wishing42]

It is a hard road, but I am trying to learn from it. The longer life goes on, the more we learn. God bless you

[Bonzo301]

From whom is that song ?

Please send me a message as far as possible !!

Thanks !

[wishing42]

Third Day

[Patriotman54]

meaningful

[prkygth]

The lyrics say it all- my husband has been by my side through everything- the trying the disappoints, the losses- if it weren't for him holding me I don't how I would have made it through this storm.

[viollas]

heartwarming lyrics....

[heihopp2]

Beautiful!

[Bill679]

"...and all things tied together all over like rain connecting everybody the world over by chain of touch..."

One of the most painful parts of infertility is the feeling alone. Alone as the only couple without kids but surrounded by them at kid's birthday parties, alone at the park watching all the lucky parents walk with their kids in strollers. It means so much to know, not through statistics but really know that others are going through what we are. That somehow we're connected.

Thank you.

[MrsMKP]

Awesome story! I cried when I saw this. When my husband and I were ready to have children, we thought we would be pregnant within 3 months (cuz that is what happened with most of our friends) - but after 2 years, tests (everything seems to be ok), fertility drugs, we are lost, on why it ain't happening. We are giving up and going on,...someday it will happen.

[littlelottej]

I know, we have been trying for 2 years with the tests and fertility drugs, only to get pregnant and lose it. It's frustrating when the people around try for only a month and go on to have their baby the first time around.

[evpookie]

Very beautiful piece!!!

[Ardi1112]

This is beautiful.

[thetowncriers]

I bawled when I read the dedication! It was so beautiful.

[mstreicher]

This is beautiful. Glad you guys are staying strong.
