I Don't Believe It
I’m getting my period. Like, any minute. So, for the fourteenth time, I have tried to get pregnant and I have not succeeded. I have failed. My body has failed. I am still the only person living in this body.
This sucks.
I keep saying things like “I don’t want this” “I want this to stop” “I want this to go away.” I’m still in disbelief about...

It’s the standard story: married a couple of years, started vitamins, and pre-conception Dr visits well in advance. Got a two-bedroom apartment. Off the pill for 3 months before trying.
