Want it to be over

I had an abortion when I was 17 because I was told this would ruin my life. I got scared. At first I did not even know I was pregnant.
A couple weeks after finding out, I remember sitting in the office signing all the paperwork and asking if I was sure. My stepmother was with me; I just remember saying yes. Then I went to another room where they did an ultrasound. I was asked if I wanted to know if I was pregnant with more than one. I said no. I remember my stepmother could not be in the room with me, so I was by myself, in a hospital gown, waiting. I was next, and the room was cold. I was scared. They gave me some pain medication to help with the pain. It did not help at all. I remember crying and just wanting it to be over. It was done.
For a while, I hid it. I married the father of the baby a few years later and, at the time, he still did not know. An ex-friend told him about it, and we almost got a divorce because of it. Now we are trying to get pregnant and it's been four years since we started trying to have a baby. We can't get pregnant. One thing that has helped me get through this whole thing is God and my church. I know one day I will become pregnant, but it's all His timing. I will be silent no more.
