I wanted to become a mother more than anything in the world. My husband and I tried for years. Doctors. Tests. Treatments. Thousands of dollars. Hundreds of pills. And yet… nothing but miscarriages.

I was sitting in my car in the parking lot of the fertility clinic, watching a woman walk out holding an ultrasound picture.

Her face radiated as if she had just conquered the world.

I was so empty that I couldn't even cry anymore.

At home, my husband and I danced around each other, choosing words like one chooses the floorboards of an old house.

I was so empty that I couldn't even cry anymore.

A few months later, as my next fertile period approached, tension returned to our home.

"We can take a break." My husband's hands were on my shoulders, his thumbs making small circles.

"I don't want a break. I want a baby."

He didn't argue. What could he possibly say?

The miscarriages kept happening.
