To the woman who has taken a break from trying.
The other day I was given some unsolicited advice* of taking a break from trying as I mentioned we had been for 2 years. As every miracle birth that people know of around them happens when a person stops trying or ends up adopting. I believe everyone thinks this is great news (which it is) but the journey to that moment is an excruciating one. This couple, or individual, just mentally gave up all hope of a dream that has been with them most of their lives. They have spent the last 1,3,5,10 years being poked, prodded, hopes brought up and dreams crushed every month, to let go of an idea that would never be. Please realize that you saying the words "just take a break" belittle the everyday struggle that they have gone through. * Please note before giving advice or telling stories, would you do the same to a person with a disease where the outcome is unknown. I'm not equating the two, but am simply mentioning that suggesting to them to just do a juice cleanse and they'll be fine, seems silly no?
