I can't tell you how many times that I've asked myself all these questions! There's really nothing I can add to it except "Well said!" Maybe we have to be selfish when it comes to us, our decision and our family, but selfless when it comes to that baby... xoxoLorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03333972592403553177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-87682024619234182772011-11-28T12:49:05.247-08:002011-11-28T12:49:05.247-08:00I agree with you, we are far from being selfish. ...I agree with you, we are far from being selfish. Sure we are only selfish in the fact that we want to be parents and experience that joy of our child's love but then again most humans want the same thing. It is the fact that we try harder than those that are fertile that makes us feel like we are being selfish when in truth it is a purely selfless act to keep going through with each cycle under the drug control of doctors feeling like we are caged animals in some sort of mad science experiment and waiting with futile hope for that BFP. I want one so badly too. I hope you get yours soon.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316511791499949824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-42700030255488339972011-11-28T09:46:34.689-08:002011-11-28T09:46:34.689-08:00Beautifully written post.

I definitely agree that infertility makes you do a lot of selfless things. It takes a lot of strength to continue to aim for a family, no matter what the costs. <br /><br />ICLW #46 KrystalKrystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17158984791521699151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-40801490768643056412011-11-28T03:04:16.644-08:002011-11-28T03:04:16.644-08:00This is such a wonderful post.

Yes, we are given the time to question and ponder all that parenthood has to offer and while we may doubt ourselves we must know that we are not selfish!Living Our Life in Cycleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06985632430618813718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-61678646985446854252011-11-27T21:22:41.617-08:002011-11-27T21:22:41.617-08:00Those of us who suffer from infertility have the o...Those of us who suffer from infertility have the opportunity to ponder these questions so often prior to parenthood. I'm not sure if it's a benefit we have over fertiles or a detriment. I simply know that we will have pondered these things where fertiles will - for the most part - not have done so. In a lot of ways, I think it makes us more prepared when our time for parenthood comes. In other ways, I hate suffering the doubt that many fertile people have never had to consider. I choose to count these meditations as a positive that will make me a better parent when my time comes.<br /><br />Happy ICLW!<br />#38Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07920969824307697368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-15478605811134639812011-11-27T21:00:33.720-08:002011-11-27T21:00:33.720-08:00Amazing post!!!
