What Simply Works!

I was just talking to the husband the other day, about how some of our friends are not exactly looking forward to the coming holidays. Our friends, in fact they are two couples, have been trying to get pregnant for over a year with no luck.

What is the relation between the holidays and pregnancy, you might ask? Well, it is during this season when families get together and usually, topics about who has yet to get married or have kids come about. Unfortunately, well meaning family members can get pretty ‘insensitive’ when they bring up those subjects.

Especially so if the couple (if they’ve been trying for a baby for a long time), has subjected themselves to various tests (e.g. progesterone tests, sperm count) and has failed in their work-up attempts. That can aggravate the pain and frustration of being put in the ‘spotlight’.

That’s why our holiday wishes for them are, (1) that they survive their reunion parties unscathed, (2) eventually get over the (fertility) humps (3) and bear as many children as they want!
