And Baby Makes Three

I have always wanted two children. I don't know why, this just felt perfect for me. Rather soon after getting married, I and my husband started to plan having our first child.

Luckily, getting pregnant with our first child came easily. After the first month we tried, I took a pregnancy test and it came back positive. Almost ten months later, we had a son. As any mom know, having your first child is exciting, challenging, and very rewarding.

After two years, it was time to try again. To complete the family, we wanted a little girl, although, even a son would have been wonderful. I know people say it doesn't matter if it is a boy or a girl, but it wasn't just a saying, it was how I felt.

Nonetheless, a year had passed. Each month, each week, every other day, we were trying but with no success. Getting pregnant the second time was not turning out to be easy. When we hit the one year of trying mark, I started to worry.

Luckily, I had friends in the same situation. We could talk about our worries to each other. One other thing that was in common with me and my friend was our age. We were both about forty years old, and high age affects fertility.

After the first year, we decided with my husband that let's try to relax, and not stress too much about becoming pregnant. On the other hand, my friends decided to resort to medical help. She started to take some fertility medicines. However, after another year we were still trying without results.

To our wonder and surprise I turned up pregnant. The funny thing is it was a month that I wasn't even trying. We had stopped trying. I have always heard that when you don't try this is when it happens. Well that must be true. We had given up and at that point we got a surprise. I was pregnant.

What was even more amazing was that my friend got also pregnant, almost at the same time. After you have tried to get pregnant so long time, you will appreciate the miracle of life much more. Because my first pregnancy came so easy, I thought the second one would come just as effortless.

Nine months later our daughter was born. Can you believe that this hope was also filled, we got a daughter! Good things can happen, and now I am happier than ever before. All my dreams have come true. I have a husband who loves me (and I love him). I have two beautiful children I love more than anything else in the whole world.

To all those couples who are trying to get pregnant, my word of advice is to relax. This is the best natural home remedy for infertility. Miracles happen every day. Yes, becoming pregnant, whether easy or not, is always a miracle.
