Fertility: The ability to produce offspring. Power of reproduction.
You might be wondering, Kim what the heck are you doing at the fertility center! You’re too young!
Well. Since I’ve been married for 3 years, coming up 4 years in October, I can not tell you the number of times, I have been asked the following questions:
When are you having kids?
You don’t want any kids yet?
Are you guys trying to have kids?
When are you going to give your parents a grand-baby!
I’ve never been bothered to answer this question, but I’ve realized that as i’m approaching the big 30, when I hear this question, my mind starts to wonder: Can I have kids? Is something wrong? Should I be concerned? Should I freeze my eggs? I’ve never worried about this before and I can remember my prayers changed from my rebellious days of: lord, please don’t let me get pregnant, to know…. I want a little kimji (Kim + Kenji) to be running around.
I think since I get asked the question so much and since it hasn’t happened yet, my mind starts to wonder… then I start to question myself. am I doing something wrong to where I can’t get pregnant? should I go vegan? should I stop eating red meat? I mean a zillion and one questions boggle my mind! I’m definitely a over-thinker!
SO… I decided to take a fertility test at Dallas IVF-McKinney Fertility Center to see exactly what was going on in there! don’t worry. It was only a blood test. I took the blood test… and now i’m waiting for the results…. argh. The waiting game is tough! Check back in a week for my results. I’m crossing my fingers in the mean time and whispering sweet prayers to the big man upstairs!
Now through August 31, 2017 Dallas IVF is offering free AMH testing. To schedule your appointment, please email Daenna Martinez at daenna@dallasivf.com.
Love you girl ?
Love you! Thanks for reading!
Good for you! Im not yet married but I want to know if I’m able to have children in the future with my husband. I want the children that I dreamed about from my childhood all the way up to my adulthood. The ones that God continues to show me daily and blessed me with a vision for them on Mother’s Day. I’ve asked my gynecologist to run a test but they (she and the nurse) encourage me just to do my best to remain healthy and when I am married to come back and try taking a fertility test then (if there is not pregnancy resulting after intimacy). I would rather know beforehand so that I can remain on a healthy track and correct any insufficiencies before marriage. Still, I take their advice and do my best to remain active and healthy for the future of my life, my husband and children as well as the rest of my family. I don’t leave out close friends, associate friendships and other people that I love and may come to love in my life. I take very seriously the opportunity to be a mother amongst everything else. I pray for those children that God has given me in my dreams, all four of them, even as God has given me their names. I also pray for mothers who have not yet conceived, have conceived or even desire to conceive in years to come. I believe God for you my sister and I pray that in due time God will give you the desire of your heart. I pray your gift will make your husband glad and that he prepared you for the very moment you know that you are expecting. Many blessings to you and God’s faithfulness over your life. May favor chase you and all that you believe for.
Respectfully,
Rev. Newtonia P. Hemphill
