National Infertility Awareness week, bust a myth

It's National Infertility Awareness week...but you knew that.
It's my first, well kinda first. It's my first since I've had a blog and since I've been labeled as infertile.

So to kick off the week I'm busting a myth from resolve.org

Myth: A higher-power is telling you that you should not be a parent.


My mom has told me many times that it will happen for us when God wants it to happen.
My grandmother told that in order to get pregnant AJ and I needed to ask for forgiveness for every past partner we have had. (that was one awkward convo let me tell you!)
Now I believe in God, and I don't want this to turn into a religion battle, but that's just Bull!
AJ and I have been together for 7years and married almost 2. I'm pretty sure that if God didn't want us to have kids than he wouldn't have let us stay together for so long...being two people that are basically, for lack of better word, in love with kids.
Case in point, we spent a solid hour playing outside, in the crappy weather, with 3 little ones this afternoon. If I can't find AJ at a family function all I have to do is find the kids and he's there too.
We are financially ready, we are emotionally ready, in fact we are beyond ready.
There is nothing, besides infertility, standing in the way of us having children.

Want something other than my reasoning...
Then I ask you why a higher power will choose to take an unborn child away form anyone?
What kind of higher power would allow junkies to have all the babies while good people are left with years of pain and suffering with out children?

Again I say BULL!

I hate ignorant people!
I have never in my life told anyone that God/higher power is the reason for their suffering.
I would liken it to telling someone dying of cancer that God/higher power just didn't think they should live.
It's wrong.


ok crazy lady rambling over.


go to http://www.resolve.org/infertility101 and bust your own, it's kinda fun to get so pissed off about something!

  1. ya know another reason this can't be true?
    because of all the desperately unfit people who can get pregnant over and over and deliver multiple children that they cannot take care of...
    I mean if God is only letting people who will be good parents get pregnant...?what's up with that?
    If a higher power was telling anyone that they shouldn't be a parent, wouldn't it be them?
