The Dread of Starting Your Cycle (again!)

It's so hard to get the cramps and then start bleeding when you were so hoping that this would be the month. The month when you didn't get your period and you could take a pregnancy test and actually have it be positive.

It's hard. A woman can feel like a failure when she wants to be pregnant and she gets her menses instead.

That disappointed, sad, hormonal state is a tough one. It's not an easy state to be "talked down" from. The state, the feelings, the despair usually shifts in a few days.

Then it's back to the drawing board. This can be be fatiguing month in and month out. I have just two things to share with you:

1) As a woman, you are NOT a failure for having blood instead of a baby. You are a woman who is doing what the female body is designed to do every month. If a woman begins her menstrual cycle at age 14 and bleeds until she's 54, that is 40 years of cycles or 480 potential cycles. It only takes one to get pregnant. Thus, every cycle you have does not mean you're a failure, it means you're a woman. A woman who continues to prepare herself for the month when she is aligned with fertility and conception.
2) If you can shift your focus to the result of conception being a matter of when and not if. Then it will matter less if cycles show up in between now and when. This can potentially release you from the roller coaster of hope and despair each month you start your cycle.

It doesn't mean it's easy to do this. But it is possible, much more serving, and easier to pass the time until you conceive arrives.

I got a call today from a woman who just found out she is pregnant. I love those calls. Not as much as a woman loves the call from her doctor or the "stick" that tells her she is pregnant, but a close second.

She told me that she hadn't realized how much she had been focusing on "infertility" and that when she started becoming more conscious of her focus, she could feel the shift in her. And then, boom.....she gets pregnant. And here is the clincher....one of her tubes is blocked, so she only had the other side to work with in trying to conceive. Well, she actually got pregnant on the blocked side this month.

She asked me if I think that it's possible for a tube to "unblock". I said that I think anything is possible and that something happened here because she got pregnant. I've seen a lot of things like this over the last 12yrs. Witnessing these kinds of things kind of melts skepticism over time.

All I can say is that if you're still awaiting fertility, don't give up. Try and focus on possibility. Try and tip your energy system (your thoughts, emotions, words, actions) in favor of fertility and if you're not sure how to do that....let yourself learn!! My Fertility Success e-book continues to support women all over the world in getting pregnant. I receive messages every week that someone else is pregnant because they learned how to "tip their scales" in favor of fertility. I want to get a message from you too.
