Just a little something to make our fellow infertile couples smile. Most people don’t realize how hard back to school time can be for us. While we love all the children that flood our timelines it’s a difficult reminder of what we are going through and what we might never get to experience. Many of us wonder if we will ever get the chance to take a million pictures of our own little mini me’s one day and the hard truth is some of us might not get to. It's terrifying and heartbreaking. We get tired of hearing about gods plan and timing when we see babies dumped in trash cans, mothers giving birth to babies addicted to crack, child molesters and abusers having babies. It’s like hearing oh gods thinks you’re not ready or you don't deserve this but apparently this crackhead does. We get tired of hearing to just relax. Some of us have medical conditions causing infertility that no amount of relaxation can fix. You can’t just relax things like diabetes, cancers and other diseases away so how the hell can we relax our medical conditions away? No one starts out stressed when trying to have a baby. The stress comes once you have been diagnosed as infertile and by then its been a year of the stress-free method. We get tired of hearing “have you tired….” Yes you would be shocked to learn all the things we have tried and no …. getting drunk is not going magically get us pregnant either. We get tired of hearing can’t you just get some kind of treatment or IVF? Yeah let me magically pull $25,000 out of thin air for IVF!!!! Most insurance companies do not cover anything fertility related so we spend thousands of dollars on test then thousands on treatments that have no guarantee so if it doesn’t work that money is just gone. We are also tired of hearing “can’t you just adopt?” … Adopting is not for everyone. If a person knows in their heart its not for them and they can’t be the parent an adoptive child needs and deserves then what? Also lets talk about how expensive adoption is. If you research private adoption the internet will tell you anywhere from $10,000 to $30,000 but as someone who has looked into it that’s a joke. It’s well over $30,000 and waiting can take years. Then we get the people who say “oh, but if you get them from the state you can foster and adopt for free!” Yeah… okay. We have been trying to foster for over a year and a half only to be told oh this county has enough foster parents… sorry but you can call our states private agencies and they can pull from other counties but you have to pay for that. So there are kids who need homes but its still going to cost you money AND as fosters they can be taken away from you. So its pay to foster or continue treatments. So simple right? Plus many of us want to be pregnant and experience what it’s like. We would kill for all the things pregnant woman complain about, thats another thing… if you are pregnant please don’t complain about your pregnancy to your infertile friend. I am sure there are plenty of other woman out that who can be sympathetic to what your experiencing. There are a million other things that beat us down and drive us crazy but those are the top ones. So if you know someone battling infertility maybe just find away to make them smile, tell them it’s going to be okay and be there when they just need someone to listen. Justin, Amber, Ralph and I wanted to do something special that would make people laugh and put a smile on their face. To everyone having a rough time right now… It’s going to be okay. You are always in our thoughts and prayers.

Coping Infertility During Back To School Time

My Review of InstaNatural's Vitamin C Moisturizer &Vitamin C Serum
I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to try out InstaNatural's Vitamin C Cream Moisturizer and Vitamin C Serum. I did not expect to see results right away, but I was blown away by both these products in a very short amount of time. My skin has been getting softer and more toned with each day and I love that it didn't cause any breakouts! I couldn't believe how well this product seems to plump my deep forehead wrinkles which I have since I was younger. I also have a sun spot above my eyebrow that has been getting lighter and lighter. All these results have happened in a week!!!!! I am truly blown away.
