At the beginning of the month, we found out that, even though we were under the impression we had 1 more medicated round, our doctor had decided that it wasn't working and we were done. Just like that. I honestly just felt numb. Because, while Illinois insurance covers infertility, my husband's job is based in Missouri, so they do not cover a single penny. And the only place near us with infertility services charges 10x the national average. We prayed and pleaded and begged for the medicated rounds to work, because we weren't sure what our next steps were. And we're still not. On the day I found out, I wandered through a little shop in a daze, but found myself stopped by a little pencil pouch that I couldn't look away from. It said "Taking a break is not giving up. It's okay to take a break." It hit me so hard. In the last 2 years, between Lawson being born and all his struggles, my mental health, and infertility, I have not taken a break for a moment from the hard. So that's what I'm doing this month. I'm taking a break from thinking about anything to do with infertility- from the sadness, the guilt, the unknown next steps. I'm soaking in the sun, time with my boys, and finding joy in the small moments. Maybe next month, or the month after that, we'll tackle next steps. We'll figure it out - but not today. If you're walking through infertility - or any other hard thing - it's okay to take a break. Give yourself permission to breathe and remember that it's not always this hard. ❤️❤️ What hard thing could you take a break from? #infertility #infertilityjourney #infertilitystruggles #infertilityishard #secondaryinfertility #parentingthroughinfertility #itsokaytotakeabreak #giveyourselfabreak #motherhoodcontent #momcontent #momlife
