Never Say Never

Never Say Never

By: Blair Guzman

Did you know approximately 7 million couples have troubled infertility? That’s about 12% of the couples population. In my lifetime I have been told by multiple doctors that I had a better chance winning the lottery than becoming pregnant due to endometriosis. That hurt me for a little while but I accepted it and moved on with my life. Could the doctors be wrong? Maybe god will give me the gift of motherhood when he thinks I'm ready.

The summer of 2013 I started experiencing really bad back pains. Almost as if someone was twisting and bending my spine into a ball . A few days after I would get sharp pains in my abdomen as if someone was stabbing me repeatedly with a sharp butcher knife. At this point im associating my pain with possible menstrual cramps. A couple days go by and I am still in a lot of pain, I tried everything to ease my pain. Nothing seemed to work besides sleeping to forget the pain. All of a sudden, ouch! I must of moved wrong in my sleep I thought because I began to experience sore breasts. I did a internet search on all my symptoms and I kept seeing that the symptoms I was experiencing is associated with the possibility being pregnant. At this point I froze. I didn’t want to set myself up thinking I'm pregnant and be happy about it just for a doctor to tell me I'm not.

Later on that night I decided to get dressed and go talk to my mom while she was at work. I told her my symptoms and also mentioned to her that I looked my symptoms up and I may possibly be pregnant. I've never seen my mother smile so brightly. She told me I need to go buy a pregnancy test. So off to the store I go. I bought three pregnancy test. I was so nervous, my hands even felt clammy. I rushed back to my mom's work and took one of three test. Waiting for the results had my body trembling. Finally results are here. Guess what?! Im pregnant! I was not happy at first when I saw the results, because I set myself up knowing I will never...
