For moms who struggled with infertility.

I just read this article about moving past infertility after you have success and all the emotion around it and I thought I would share: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/kathryn-kefauver-goldberg/a-twin-moms-post-infertility-survivor-guilt_b_4466210.html

Re: For moms who struggled with infertility.

  • I probably shouldn't comment because our tx ended up cancelled, but I really liked the article. It's true, the guilt part. And I still have a hard time being happy for people who get pg without trying. But also I feel guilt for our spontaneous miracle WITHOUT tx because I was so close to those who ended up needing it, and we really thought we were on the same road together. I'm rambling. Sorry. Thx for sharing the article.

  • Thanks for sharing. Post-successful IF treatment is a weird place to be.

    I'm really afraid that if this pregnancy doesn't stick, I won't be able to go to one of mine, either. It's in just a few weeks.

  • My friend had a late loss so she actually called and told me she understood if I skipped it. She is wonderful.
