Trust your intuition. The universe is guiding your life.

I got this message on a fortune cookie several months back. It resonated with me and my experiences of the past couple of years. Not so much the intuition part, I'm not really sure that I'm so in touch with that yet, but with the "universe guiding my life" part.

So, I took it with me and taped it to my computer at work and I look at it almost every day.

Remember at the end of last year/beginning of this one, I wasn't having the best time ever and I was remarking here, how sometimes things seem to get worse and worse.

But, then again, around this time last year, there was this. And while it might not seem like much, it reminded me at the time that amazingly good things can happen. And they do.

Somehow, that brings me to my fertility "issues". Back in the fall, things weren't looking promising. (A lot of flashbacks in this post, no?) I was disappointed for sure, but not for very long. We just gave ourselves 4 months left to our own devices and we figured we'd get some intervention after that time.

At the beginning of the fourth month, I started feeling hesitant about starting up fertility treatments the following month. I just didn't feel quite ready. I'd been through 2/3 of the process of IVF before (albeit in a very rushed timeframe) so I knew it wasn't too bad. And I have a great repro/endo, but all the same, something was holding me back a bit.

I thought about maybe trying some alternative therapies for a couple of months. But still, in the back of my mind I also thought, "It could still happen." And I tried my best to shift that thought to "It will happen."

In that last month, I found out I was (am) pregnant.

Amazing things CAN happen.

I apologize if I'm sounding too new-agey lately, but I do think things happen for a reason. I think this was meant to happen exactly when and how it did. Maybe in part because I needed another reminder that amazing things can happen.

I don't know, but I am just grateful.
