Finally we decided to try IVF For us there was no other step We gave it all the money we had And prayed that the ending wouldn't be sad My injections left a great big bruise But after waiting and waiting I got good news In 9 short months I'd be a mom My lifelong dream had finally come I had a sono to check the baby And couldn't have been more elated We saw a baby with a strong heartbeat And told our happy news to all we'd meet We had a scare and thought the baby was gone But had a scan and saw a heartbeat strong We tried to relax but were scared to death That we would never feel our baby's breath Two days later we saw my doc He gave us the news and we were in shock Not only was our baby okay But we had twins that were on their way My pregnancy went by really quick I was lucky and only once got sick My birth experience was something to savoir Even though at 32 weeks I had premature labor Infertility has left me scarred And IVF was really hard But now I am the mom of twins And my face is wearing a constant grin Author of fertility poetry Rebecca Liebman fertility poetry ~ infertility poetry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Waiting for the Moon My friend called today tears in her voice Her period started and her dreams for a new baby are postponed yet another month. I hold my infant to my breast eager mouth tugging and pulling little hands patting and stroking. My eyes well up with tears. How many days turned to months turned to years did I kneel and weep pressing my hands to my empty womb rocking on my heels Pleading with cruel fate "send me a living child?" My womb wept bright blood tears as I felt my youth slip away Moon after moon cycle after cycle month after month year after long year My grief was indescribable unendurable mourning a child not yet conceived only wished for, dreamed of, prayed for. And then later,mourning the children conceived but lost in pain and blood and tears. Moon months, cycle songs, lovemaking, babylonging. These are the things that defined my young womanhood. eight years of eternal emptiness years defined by the Moon By blood By hope and by tears. II I have not missed those cycles the moon rising within the blood that defined my loss and failure. My life has now become an hourly measure And rather than by a lunar month I am defined by nursing by a small demanding mouth by the fullness of my breast by rich sweet milk that drips from me and flows life and love to my child. I will not (cannot) forget, though, the years my womb wept blood tears, the months the shards of grief began as my period started... Lactating now, my body moves to another vision another Time. The moon tides no longer control me I am bound to the Earth, to the small body of another, to a warm mouth in the night that nuzzles and seeks and heals my tattered soul and pieces my heart together. Pergonal and modern medicine gave me a child, but the child at my breast Healed my infertility. author of this fertility poetry Kathryn Miller Ridiman For Tabitha ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ more fertility poetry to conceive poems ~ I hope Fertility Moon will become a place where womanhood can be celebrated, fertility explored by honoring ancient traditions whilst celebrating a modern approach to Being a Woman - beautiful just as you are ~ Alternative Fertility Awareness ~ Going full circle in Celebrating Womanhood From Conception to Birth - to Puberty to Menstruation to Child Birth to Crone Wisdom |
