I feel your frustration completely. 1) I got an email yesterday and the music and video just moved me...I loved it! In the background plays Hallelujah. Then I read your blog and it starts playing this song...weird coincidence. So, thought I would pass this along to make you smile, even though I don't know you.<br />Check this out on YouTube <br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hN8CKwdosjE <br /><br />2) After reading your blog, you seem a bit down and frustrated. As cheesy as it sounds, I have just joined the blogger world this summer and I have met some amazing women, struggling with IF, who have made the journey easier...if that sounds possible. After reading the path you are going to be taking with IVF, I thought to throw in there the experience I am having. I, too, was exposed to that path but for many reasons, decided to explore more. I am now a patient of Dr. Hilgers in Omaha, Nebraska, at the Pope Paul VI Institute. Sounds crazy, i know, especially being from Alabama. But he is a world renowned Reproductive Endocrinologist and has been studying women and infertility for over 30 years. His success rate is over 80%. Basically, he studies your body and how it works down to the very minuscule things and he treats every woman as an individual. He does happen to be a Catholic infertility specialist, which means he doesn't believe in IUIs or IVF. This process is not only healthier for the woman but a lot less expensive. He does have a wait list because of his popularity, but I thought it would be a great option to share with you after reading your post. <br /><br />Hope I'm not barging in and invading. The only reason I found out about him is because someone did the same for me. Whatever path you choose, I will pray for you dear.

I'm sure it's very overwhelming. But you're doing great. I admire you so much for staying strong through all of this.

We went a different path, but the pain is still there. As we are possibly getting closer to our baby girl, the song "unanswered prayers" rings true in my head. The line "some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers" makes me cry every time. I'm not that religious, but the thought that all that pain led me to these birth parents, this little girl...well, it all seems to make sense. I can't wait until it all makes sense (as much as it can) for you too. Your time WILL come, and I can't wait to read all about it:).Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03064955747540959696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1603445819582565095.post-34425669684231534962010-07-30T23:38:14.719-05:002010-07-30T23:38:14.719-05:00Kandice, it breaks my heart that you are at this p...Kandice, it breaks my heart that you are at this point. I prayed so hard that it would turn out different before now. For so many girls, IVF has been the miracle they needed to have a family. I so hope that it is for you too! I know it's a crazy emotional process, but I can also tell you that I would go through anything to be pregnant now. It is worth everything in the long run. Hang in there and call me anytime you need to.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03777400850337711004noreply@blogger.com
