I Wish...

Sometimes I wish that I didn't care so much, I wish that what's happening to me wasn't that big a deal, and sometimes I just wish that I wouldn't be so disappointed every month when it doesn't happen. What makes it so hard for me is being surrounded by images of motherhood. I don't think people realize how many advertisements, images and posts about babies, kids or even motherhood there are. Just think about it for a minute, you are watching TV and you see a commercial for Pampers. Normally you wouldn't think anything of it, its just a commercial about diapers. But for someone going through fertility its a remainder of what you don't have. Every time I watch one of those commercials I see a baby and I wish that I wasn't having such a hard time conceiving. And they are everywhere; TV commercials, ads for baby clothes, baby toys, maternity clothes, strollers etc. Its everywhere and it honestly sounds dramatic when I say it out loud, but its the truth.

Hi everyone.  My name is Cameron and I am Siobhan’s Husband.  As many of you know Siobhan and I have been through a lot over the last year, with trying to have a baby.  The process of the clinics was a new experience for both of us and has taught us a lot along the way.  When we first decided to try and have a baby we were both very excited and never had dreamt that it would be this hard.  After trying for a few months with no avail Siobhan’s doctor had recommended us to see a fertility clinic.  At first I did not think it was necessary as I have always been a believer that if it wasn’t meant to be it was meant to be and that it would happen eventually.  After visiting the clinic for the first time and seeing the number of other families trying to have a baby I was absolutely blown away by the number of people that are having the same issues as us! After seeing the first waiting room full of people I could not believe how common these issues are and I could not be more proud of Sio
