We have now hit our two year mark of infertility. We are so thankful that we have our beautiful son Crew and have been so blessed to have him in our family. We also know that two years may seem like nothing to those who have suffered much longer and have no children, and my heart hurts for those that struggle with infertility. I wouldn't wish it on anyone, but still it doesn't make us want another child any less.
We are still trying and doing all that we can to make it a possiblity, while things are not getting any better ( in fact my tennis ball is now a softball) but we KNOW that we will have more children, and that it is all on the Lord's time table, but we also know that we have to do all we can to help bring it about.
I know that the Lord will not give us any trials that we cannot overcome, but we know we have to lean on him and let him strengthen us and bring us comfort and peace.
Today I came across this video and it hit home with me. It describes how I feel...

Oh my dear Annie... I love you! That video was precious and very beautiful. I'm so sorry you are going through this. I can't even imagine what these last 2 years have been like for you and I am devastated for you. You are such a good mom and Crew is so lucky to have you as his mom. He sure is cute! I love how strong your faith is. Heavenly Father knows you and knows what you are facing. He loves you too! Keep it up my dear. We will definitely keep you in our prayers and your sweet family in our prayers. I love you Ann, hang in there!
I'm sorry. :( Infertility sucks! We're almost to the two year mark too. Go eat some chocolate and let yourself be sad for a day. :) I'm sure you'll get more children eventually. But it seriously doesn't help to hear that when you don't have the kids now. :(
You have such a beautiful spirit, I wish you the very best. What a difficult thing to go through. I really like your perspective, it's very refreshing and reminds me to keep that type of faith more often :)

Hi Annie,
I know it probably doesn't help you feel better but at least know you aren't alone. Infertility is such a hard subject. Especially when you are getting asked all the time when are you going to have a baby. I hated that question. I wanted to yell and say "We are working on it!" "Shut Up!" We struggled for a long time also and every month was harder then the last. I know that it will happen for you guys. Thank you for being so positive.
Annie,
I just don't know if you are interested, but I too struggle with infertility and I have found a support group that has been extreamly helpful. This is the only one in the state (that I am aware of, and that they claim). If you are interested you can look up more information on www.thehealinggroup.com!
Best of luck. Keep your faith!
I think the hardest part is that your ability to choose is gone. But at the same time that is the part that will help you grow the most as you trust in the Lord. Even after the babies come, you still have the scars but they will make you better if you let them. I don't see myself ever seeing someone else pregnant and not being insanely jealous. Happy for them of course, but wishing I could feel a baby move inside of me again. Even when I am old and past that stage, I think it will still be an issue for me. But not necessarily in a bad way, because it is a righteous desire to be pregnant. And just like someone else said, you aren't alone, even when you feel so totally alone. Just remember that the Lord is mindful of you and will never forget you. There is a special little spirit waiting to come to your family. My favorite quote:
"Everywhere in nature we are taught the lessons of patience and waiting. We want things a long time before we get them, and the fact that we want them a long time makes them all the more precious when they come."
Joseph F. Smith
