When do I get my membership card?

It's funny to think that I've always thought getting pregnant would be easy. When you are ready for a baby, you try and then BOOM! You're pregnant! My Mom got pregnant the first month she tried with me and my sister. My sister got pregnant without even trying (twice) and got pregnant the first month she tried with her third. I've always assumed that since they were so fertile, I would be the same way. And as I started reading blogs a year or so ago and became particularly interested (for no real reason at the time) in infertility blogs, I thought, "Those poor girls." Never thinking that I would soon be one of them. A member of the secret, underground club that is infertility. Remember this post? I had no reason to believe this would happen to me, just a gut feeling. It's interesting to me that God sort of prepared me for this. I guess so it wouldn't be such a slap in the face. I just pray that we won't have a long battle with infertility.

i am NOT giving you a membership card just yet. give your body some time to adjust to being off bcp, THEN asses if you need meds. k?

did that sound bossy? i hope not. :)

that being said. i totally know how you feel. my parents had 4 kids with no prob. my sister had two surprises and had the 3rd when planned. my brother had a surprise child. then came my turn and i was like wait..i am happily married and ready for a baby and it isnt happening!?
its frustrating beyond belief, but dont be hard on yourself just yet.

ps-if it turns out you go down the IF road in the next few months, please know i am an email away. :)
