Is It Worth It?

This was the question that my close friend asked me this week after I was describing the three times a day progesterone supplements that I was taking. I honestly think she thinks I'm a little crazy for doing all of this at my age. "Is it worth it Courtney??" I have to admit the question did take me back a little, and it made me question myself. My response, "I don't know...is it??" I spent the rest of the evening thinking "what am I doing?" "am I crazy for doing this at my age??" "is it worth it?" In the morning, I woke up emotional, but with a new confident reply to the question "Is it Worth it?"...response: yes.
It is worth it...to see that a miracle of God has taken place by seeing two lines on a HPT
It is worth it...to hear and see your baby's heartbeat and to fall in love with your tiny baby on an ultrasound screen just two weeks after you found out that you were pregnant.
It is worth it...to hear the words "it's a boy" or "it's a girl"
It is worth it...to feel your baby moving and kicking inside of you
It is worth it...to finally get to hold your baby in your arms
I could go on and on because there are a million reasons why it is worth it. I am 24 and infertile so I can either try to be treated now or wait for a couple years for me to even get more infertile. I'm doing it now, and I'm doing everything that I can because it is worth it.

You're right. It is worth it. I'm only 25, but I don't want to wait to become more infertile, either. Good luck, Courtney. I'm praying for you and your hubby.

Amen! It is so very worth it! You are right...keep fighting Courtney. It is so very much worth it and I can't wait until you prove to the world that you can do it too!!!
