First of all, let me say that I know exactly how you are feeling with regards to your mother as I went through the same thing with my mother a couple of years ago! I pray for her speedy recovery. I couldn't agree with you more regarding infertility and the unfairness of it, especially when you are diagnosed with unexplained infertility. The uncertainty of it all is scary and I know it's hard to stay positive. Please know that this will happen for you and you will have your little one! Hugs!

I'm so sorry you're having a tough time with everything. But I really do believe that IVF will work for you guys! It won't be long before you have your own happy announcement to make! I'm sure of it! <3

Umm how freaking gorgeous are you even without makeup?? Jealous! I am so sorry about your mom. It's so scary when our parents have health issues. My dad had emergency spinal surgery three years ago to remove an abscess and was left paralyzed. So I am so glad that hasn't happened to your mother. I hope she has a speedy recovery!

Oh Maia- I'm chin deep in the exact same emotions and dealing with the "Catholic thing" as well. Nine years in- it doesn't get any easier to deal with the jealousy and bitterness. I do try to fall back on my faith to help me through, but it's still hard. I keep telling myself that this will all be worth it when we're holding our babies in our arms- however they come to us. Hang in there and just know that you're not alone.

I hope your mother has a quick recovery and that this is her last surgery for a long long time. You describe your feelings so well. I can relate to you with the mixed feelings. For me it is a feeling of being left behind. I get ready eyed when I hear friends talking about taking their kids to swim lessons, dance lessons, etc. I want that too! I am so hopeful that your bfp is coming soon. You will be an amazing mother. Xo

Oh Maia, I wish that you could be closer to your mother in times like this. :( I wish her a swift and easy recovery, and no more surgeries! It must be so difficult to have feelings of excitement and joy for your friend as well as grief and mourning for your own reproductive experience simultaneously. I have high hopes for you and IVF, and I look forward to your boy/girl announcement later this year. :) <3 Love and hugs! K

I am so sorry to hear about your Mother. Sending tones of love &support your way & keeping you & your family in my thoughts & prayers! I know all of those feelings your talking about regarding struggling with those around you having babies & announcing pregnancies especially when they are unplanned. The "it just happened" line hits so hard for Nathan and I. I find it infuriating when I see pregnant women smoking... I can't control those thoughts of; why can she b and not me!? how does that work?

Oh my gosh, Maia, your poor mom. I am so sorry for both of you to be going through this again; I know how hard it is to be supportive from a distance. This is kind of a bummer time of year in my opinion, but I am so hoping that sunnier skies are coming your way very soon! Thanks for keeping us update. All my love!

Your mom will be in my prayers! I'm so sorry she is going through all of this. Just want to let you know I totally get the whole doing it right thing and feeling like that right has just been ripped away from you but it seems like no one else. I still struggle with the all the big 'WHY?" questions, & I have my ups and downs with it too. Thanks to this community though it has helped to know we are not alone even though in our 'real lives' it can feel that way. I wish so much that your IVF works!

Sending you so much love and hope and faith. Hoping your mom's recovery goes smoothly and that you find ways to keep your mind and body relaxed in all of this. *clears throat* Did I hear "massage?" ;) I can relate to how you feel about all the uncertainty and the wondering when/if you'll ever have that moment. But I'm here now assuring you that people like us, that want a family this bad, will be parents one way or another. The trick is finding the gift in the midst of the unexpected journey xo
