Big A

On the view one of the women was just sharing her story of infertility. I'm in tears. BUT, it made me SO happy that someone was publically talking about it.

Re: Big A

  • I really love when people are willing to let it all out.

    I really think that if I didn't have to tell people when things didn't work, and there weren't questions about why we couldn't get pregnant I would be more open. I just know that Ben doesn't want me sharing his issues and people pry and make comments that hurt him and I don't think I could deal with that.

    I love Gulianna and Bill

  • I think its something thats hard to talk about but with time it gets easier. The ironic thing is that you dont know how you are not alone until you start talking about it but nobody wants to talk about it. I didnt feel comfortable talking about my m/c for quite a long time but when I finally opened up it was amazing how many women have gone through the same thing.

  • it has not gotten easier for me. nomatter who I talk to about infertility I am crushed that I will probably never have children and nobody has any idea how to respond when you tell them that.

    thats not something I'm even willing to try and wrap my mind around at this point.
  • I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you guys.

    Andrea call me crazy but I still think it'll happen for you and Ben. I pray for it all of the time.

    thank you.

    I dont' think you can understand how much the support of you girls helps me.  I want a child with my husband so badly.

    I know the comment wasn't meant in a bad way but even the mention of adoption sends me into a tail spin.

    It's heartbreaking. My BIL and I got into an argument about this a few weeks ago. His position was that people should just adopt. I told him he had no idea what he was talking about, and he shouldn't be so flip. Made the rest of the vacation with them a blast (insert sarcasm).
