When Time is Ticking..

  I hear it all the time.. "oh you have plenty of time to have more children, you started early.. you have all the time in the world" or how about this one.. " your eggs should be plentiful and perfect at 23, you have nothing to worry about" or I love this one.. " why don't you wait quite a while before you even think about having another one" Let me tell you people: when you have endo, time is not in your favor.  I am so very blessed to have met my amazing husband and that we started trying for our family right away.. I don't even want to think about what would happen if we would have waited a few years to even think about trying for a baby. I get asked over and over by people about when I am going to start my career.. Trust me people, I know very well I worked my butt off all through high school and college to have the career of my dreams. Some people think I wasted all of that time and should have finished school before I even thought about having a child. It gives me so much happiness to tell these people that I have almost completed my bachelor's degree.. it may have taken me 5 years to do so, but its almost done. I think I am accomplishing a huge feat.. finishing a degree is hard.. let alone being pregnant in the middle of it and then raising a child and at times raising the child alone.. not to mention moving and supporting my husband 100% in his military career. I will be graduating this fall and while most people would be going out to look for a full time job right after graduation.. I am going to be starting the whole TTC process all over again. I am excited and feel blessed that I learned about this disease and the toll it has and is continuing to take on my body.. my degree will always be there, my ability to become a mother again will not. I believe my first priority and most important job in this world is to be the mother God has called me to be. In the future, I fully plan on working and living my second dream.. working as a health educator educating others on the topics of maternal and neonatal health. If TTC again doesn't work out for us, I will accept that and remember how blessed I really am every time I look at my smiling, healthy, and happy sweet boy.
