  2. Thanks ladies, I haven't come out of the infertility closet so you are the first people other (than my parent's and sister) who I can talk to. Both my sister and mom had no problems conceiving so they are totally clueless. You words mean more than you could ever know.

  3. It is definitely helpful to have people who are going though/have gone through the same things to talk to. I wouldn't have made it through the journey to where I am today without my friends I connected with through here/facebook. Also, if you don't mind (I always ask first) I was thinking of submitting your blog to LFCA. Its an amazing place where blogs that are just getting started can get some followers, and those needing support can ask for it. There is a button on my blog if you are interested in check it out. Let me know if thats ok and I will get right on it..cause its a great way to increase readership/support in the IF community!

  4. That would be amazing, thank you so much for doing that for me. I am so new to this blog thing,but alrea I feel so much better just hearing about how other people have been dealing with their journeys and sharing mine. I have always been a talker and generally not good at keeping things to myself but my husband is the opposite and I want to respect his privacy.

  5. Oh I'm so sorry. :( UGH!! I'll kick her or beat her with my cane if you want!? (I have arthritis and need a cane, so a friend and I joke that I'll beat people with my cane when they make me upset.) I'm so thankful not to deal with that from my side of the family, though some of my husband's family is pretty freaking insensitive and I have friends who are as well. ((hugs)) You are certainly not alone in this, or in your frustration with all of it! ((hugs))
