You know Angie Gandolph-- she has the same prob.of carrying babies full term. She has had 7 or so miscarriages..she also has 3 babies now so it can and will happen for ya. Me and Neal were seriously thinking about adoption - I dunno if you have thought of that-- this is how it goes- as soon as someone picks you to get their baby you get preggers and then keep both! :) Sorry you have to go through all these things. HF sure does think you are a toughie. I love you lots!Karissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08444012427259550636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248140907928375870.post-81117543220978175222009-05-11T17:42:00.000-04:002009-05-11T17:42:00.000-04:00Heather,

Although reading your thoughts and feelings brought tears to my eyes (those feelings are still raw and fresh), I do have more peace and understanding than I've had in the past. I have realized that all of us have trials to face - and this is because the Lord loves us. I have felt guided and loved through all of our experiences. And, I still don't understand why I can't have all of the babies that I want, I do understand that I have to go through this trial for a reason. And, honestly, I think that because I want babies so much, that this trial has meaning. For other women who don't want babies very much, my trial would not be a trial for them (does that make sense?). Anyway, didn't mean to write for so long. You're in our thoughts!Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12619628210532001742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248140907928375870.post-26997309639479567922009-05-07T08:07:00.000-04:002009-05-07T08:07:00.000-04:00Well I didn't really expect all this response - bu...Well I didn't really expect all this response - but is it bad to say it's good to know I'm not alone?! Anyway I wasn't particularly trying to be brave, I was mostly extremely ticked off and trying to work it out for myself and so my blog was calling to me... Perhaps it is a little bit too much information, but I've held it all in for two years and I felt like I was going to bust.Heather McKeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09545759708551306417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248140907928375870.post-43732769256404785282009-05-07T07:56:00.000-04:002009-05-07T07:56:00.000-04:00Oh Heather, you are so brave to share your story.....Oh Heather, you are so brave to share your story...alas I am too chicken to even start with my mishaps.

Gotta say, you're brave! I know everyone is tempted to share their own experience, but I'll spare you. I know a couple things to be true: No, it isn't fair. Yes, it definitely gets easier. And most of all, the Lord wouldn't give you this trial if he didn't think you could handle it. Youre one tough chick!!!! I love you girl.. I'm thinking about you!Elisa Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18028572920487984346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248140907928375870.post-38930486057237333422009-05-04T01:04:00.000-04:002009-05-04T01:04:00.000-04:00When I had a miscarriage someone who had been thro...When I had a miscarriage someone who had been through it several times said to me, "Welcome to the club." (Not in a sarcastic way, but in a loving way.) I thought to myself, "Wow. Some hazing process you ladies have." Before that, I was under the impression that having a baby was as easy as having a uterus. So not so. Know that you're not alone and that you're in good company. As you said, you know everything works, you just have to carry full term. Keep hope alive. Welcome to the club. We meet Fridays in the Ben and Jerry's aisle of the grocery store. <br />love you!melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12146892050711321072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248140907928375870.post-69398341603205617432009-05-03T19:30:00.000-04:002009-05-03T19:30:00.000-04:00I've been stalking you for a while and this post f...I've been stalking you for a while and this post finally brought me out of the virtual shadows...it took us three years to finally conceive our son. Along the way were several miscarriages, fertility treatments, and waiting. Let me just say that I had so many appointments with my fertility Dr. that I'm POSITIVE he can pick out my lower half from a line up. At least I stopped using the stupid "At least buy me dinner first!" line half-way through the time he spent as my Dr. Anyways, being barren sucks. Seeing other people get pregnant and have babies sucks. It also sucks wanting to be happy for people and not being able to, despite trying your darndest. I hope and pray that your journey in the land of the infertile is short and un-eventful. In the meantime, here is an excellent post from a blog that I frequent that I feel sums it up.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05759544820511451263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248140907928375870.post-15092141490268622952009-05-02T14:53:00.000-04:002009-05-02T14:53:00.000-04:00(((Heather)))
