Warning, the video for this song does have babies and pregnant women in it, and mention of abortion in the beginning, but the song is about infertility and thought I'd share it. It's several years old, so some of you may have heard it before.
I just teared up watching that too! Awww ...thanks for sharing Really expresses our struggles quite well and that's something that is so rare.
Another song that addresses infertility is The Dixie Chicks - "So Hard". I heard it when it first came out and didn't really think much of it. But just now, I re-listened to it and it made me tear up as well. I love songs like this because it reminds me that I'm not alone in this struggle.

July 2014 - Repeat ultrasound done to measure size of fibroid - 8x9cm (the size of a grapefruit!) Surgery referral made.
August 2014 - MRI done which revealed 2 fibroids: a 13x15cm fibroid as well as an 8x7cm one. Super freak out mode over surgery plan. OB-GYN/surgeon said surgery would most likely have to be a laparotomy (open abdominal surgery)
August 2014 - After a 2nd opinion, plan to take Lupron x 2 months to shrink fibroids then laparoscopic/robotic myomectomy. Surgery date is set for Nov 21st!
November 2014 - Robotic myomectomy done (2 large fibroids removed, mild endo found). Benched x 3 months
Oh wow...I am a crying my eyes out right now....two absolutely beautiful songs. I sent them both to my brother....we are so close but he really doesn't get how I feel sometimes. Thank you for sharing!
