Jamie King article
Have any of you read this yet?
http://www.people.com/article/jaime-king-five-miscarriages-infertility-struggle
For starters, I applaud her for coming forward and opening up about her struggles in such a public way in an effort to help other women and all that blah blah stuff. But...and this may be the Provera talking because I am seriously bitchy this week...did she have to mention how many treatments she went through? Reading that she was able to afford 26 IUI's and 5 rounds of IVF when a lot of the women she is supposedly reaching out to can't afford one treatment seems like a slap in the face. Like I said, I'm on Provera this week so maybe if I had read it last week that wouldn't have stood out to me.

Re: Jamie King article
I think celebrities coming out of the IF closet is a great step and takes tremendous courage. However, so few come out during the struggle, and I felt (and still do even though we are on a different journey) most comforted by women who are in the trenches and get it. I wish more celebs would come out during the process. It would make it a bit more genuine and not all "keep trying because this can happen to you, too!" Let's be honest: not every couple, despite unlimited resources, will conceive and carry a child to term. I think that the more celebs who put a face to THAT loss is good for the cause.
In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!
