Ok people I'm getting on my soap box....I understand that the natural progression after getting married is to have kids. And, when 2 1/2 years pass it is only natural to wonder if kids are in the plan. But please stop and think before asking "when are you gonna have kids?" or "are you pregnant yet?" It's possible that the person on the receiving end of those questions gets emotional after explaining over and over again. Just because they aren't having children doesn't mean they don't want them and pain they feel by the fact that they are having a hard time cannot be understood unless you've been there. Pray instead...that's probably what they are doing.
Off my soap box now :)

In this case, it's better not to ask

Waiting...
It's been a trying few days. I think I spent the majority of the weekend in tears. Saturday afternoon I had to reopen some old wounds, but this time I am pretty sure it will lead to a final healing of the matter...so in the end they were tears of relief. I found myself welling up at the oddest times, probably no real reason. Women have that perogative and I chose to exercize it. Monday I took a mental health day off from work and it worked that I got my afternoon off as well.
Ok now what...still haven't quite processed all that went on this weekend. Time will heal the wounds.
I also have had that "what if" feeling for about a week...the maybe I am prego this time. As much as I want to run and get a prego test, I don't trust those mass produced over the counter tests anymore--they gave me a false positive a couple months ago and for someone who has been trying for so long, it wad a hard pill to swallow. So, I wait.
