hello ladies.
these past few months have been the months of confusion for my hubby and i. we have been dealing with the infamous decision of ivf vs. adoption vs. just waiting. needless to say, it has been torture. it's such a hard choice because it involves so much emotion and obviously money. we have had a hard time feeling like there is ONE right choice and we are lost as to what heavenly father wants us to do. as we fast and pray for answers, we are empowered by the fact that heavenly father doesn't want us to be sad. i had a eye-opening lesson in RS today, it was on joy. the lesson focused on having joy despite our trials and tribulations. as it seems SO hard to find joy in anything when you've been faced with the ugliness of infertility, i'm stregthened by the fact that i have so much to be thankful for, such as, my husband (he is my rock), the best family, great friends, and most importantly my heavenly father, who truly has a plan of happiness tailored just for me. i may find it hard to feel happy every day, but i know that i am so blessed to have what i do have. i know i will be a mother. i just don't know how or when. but i will. thanks so much for this awesome support group. love you. ashley owens

Thanks for such an uplifting post! With infertility and all the sad news it can bring, it's nice to have some brightness now and then. Thanks and good luck with your upcoming decisions.

This comment is directed at the previous commenter posting as "the need for a father?"
You know what? I'm sure your comment was meant to help, but it also assumes a lot. You assume that none of us on this blog have tried "alternative therapies" and that these alternatives are free!
Well, let me tell you--I have tried countless things. I've tried herbs, vitamins, massage therapy, and acupuncture. We've had sex more times and in more positions than I care to remember. All of these (except the sex, obviously) were expensive and didn't help one bit. NOT ONE BIT. So thanks, but no thanks!
Ashley thanks for the post I needed to hear it.
Hillary thank you for your comment. Really what the HELL!!! Maybe it is time to make our little blog private????
Not talking about the post by the way, it was WONDEFUL!!!
Really I am so bugged by this "the need for a father" person. If you get on ther blog just ignore all they have to say. Really who are these people????
