you can achieve...is what I keep hearing. :worry:
I have gone back to college to become a Nurse. It has been interesting, to say the least, being a college student again after so many years. It freaks me out that some of my fellow students are just 4 or 5 years older than DD1!
The recurring theme in college is "if you can believe it, you can achieve it". While this is a great theme for those just learning to navigate adulthood, it is such a slap in the face to those of us with GD or fertility issues.
I have been swaying for almost a year and I am finally seeing a fertility doctor. After my last consult with her I left feeling so strange. If their is one thing we cannot control, without science, it is fertility and gender selection. Even with science, it is no guarantee.
I have wanted to believe I can have a son, or even get pregnant, for many years. That possibility is what kept me going after the horrid GD I suffered with DD3.
But I can't achieve it (at least not yet!) just because I can believe it. :sigh:
