Dana's Story
My husband and I got pregnant after four months
of being off of the pill. I was 22 at the time.
At eight weeks I lost the pregnancy and was very
upset, understandably.
The very next month we
got pregnant again. I spent the first three months
of the pregnancy just waiting for "it" to happen
again. I felt unable to get excited because I
was afraid it would all be over. We ended up
having a healthy baby boy and we were told by
the ob/gyn that a miscarrage is normal.
When
our son was two we decided to try again. We got
pregnant after six months of trying and unfortunately,
I had another miscarrage. It has been over a
year now of trying and nothing, no pregnancies.
I am 26 now and feeling like this is the prime
time to have a baby and disappointed that it's
not happening!
Now I am worried that I will never
have another baby and I don't want them to be
too far apart in age (my son is 3). We can't
afford any expensive infertility treatments
and right now I am feeling helpless.
