About Me

My photo
On the planet since 1973. Living in sin with M since 1997 and honestly since 2002. Failing at baby-making since 2005. And whining about it here since 2008. Come on in and sit a spell. This train wreck never seems to end.

Commitments

I know, I know, I'm supposed to be on a blogging break. Funny thing about that is that I still blog for Fertility Authority. They have been so gracious and patient with me (as I have missed 3 deadlines now) while I stumble to put words together into a cohesive thought. I am so grateful that I have this commitment to keep me moving in a somewhat forward motion, no matter how difficult it seems to be right now.

My latest post there (Learning to live with Infertility) might help better explain what I'm attempting to do while on my little blog hiatus. It was not an easy post to write.........

*~*~*~

Oh, and in support of National Infertility Awareness Week (which is right NOW!), Fertility Authority has launched a "ONE THING" campaign:


Do your part to help others understand infertility's physical and emotional challenges by joining our “ONE THING” campaign to raise awareness and de-stigmatize infertility.

If you could tell a non-infertile friend, relative, co-worker or stranger ONE THING about your struggle with infertility what would it be?

Share Your ONE THING!

Dear Non-Infertile, Here’s what I want you to know about me and my infertility:


Please click on over to ONE THING and add whatever it is that you wish others knew about your struggle with infertility........

Good to hear from you B. I just read your blog on the other site. I love how you're able to put your raw emotions into words. I'm sure you are helping many women on that site to not feel alone. I'm sorry you're in this position. I wish I could change it for you. Hugs

I agree with Jill; I'm sure you are helping many others and how they are feeling, too (through your blog here and there.)

I'm sorry things are the way they are. Wish I could make them better or take away some of the hurt.

Hugs.

Girl, don't make me cry now. That was a sad post.

Ok, my word verification is "sistora". Sistah, you are not alone.

Hey B good to see you. I have missed all of you so much! I am glad you are breakin' for a bit, (well not glad, sad actually, but glad for you) but good to know we can get you on the other amazing blog, which by the way is more than amazing. You are an inspiration to us all! xoxoxoxoxo

Though you said on your last post that you were taking a break, I still visit your blog, just hoping that maybe you'd post something and that I'm not missing out.

I can't write the way you do and touch people the way you do. You're doing such a great job at helping other infertile women.

I read that post and I cried. I wish I could tell you when the hurt would stop. But know that I'm here with you all the way, until the very end, when you have your resolution.

((((hugs)))

ps I've received your parcel. I've sent you an email. If you're not up to replying it, don't worry. I understand. I just want to say thank you very much from the bottom of my heart. xoxo.

I wondered what you were going to do about FA. Take care, and well done.

I read your other post a few days ago, and keep thinking about it. You're right - things do feel different when you know that you've lost. Although, I guess I always knew I'd lost so.... aggggghhhh, it all really sucks doesn't it?

Thinking of you!

I'm sure these are the toughest days, B, and I hope you are getting through them. Just know that you are not alone in what you are feeling and that all your feelings of despair are completely valid.

If there is anything I (we) can do, please let me know. And I don't know if now is the right time to say this -- it would be ironic if I was being insensitive -- but it's only when one door gets slammed shut that another one opens.

You will find your way. I am sure of it.

Best,
Laurie

Just came over from another blog. I read back just a little and understand you are in the pre-beginning of considering adoption. My husband and I quit treatments (after only a few) did domestic infant adoption and had a great experience. We brought home our son at 2 days old.

It was a long process for me to come to the point where I knew I was ready to adopt. I talked to several people who had adopted and that was really helpful. I'm not sure how much I actually discussed it on my blog, but I just wanted to extend my friendship to you and let you know that if ever have any questions while you're considering this, I am happy to help. There are a lot of great adoption blogs out there with lots of information too.

If you should visit my blog, I try to keep it mostly focused on infertility and adoption because that's why I started it, but I wanted to warn you that sometimes there is a mushy "I love being a mom" type post. You can ignore those!

I hope you figure things out as you take this break.

Take care.
