Ashley.

I signed out a couple books on infertility.  Anyway, the drugs scare me.  I can see why you are freaked.  I am sure you have read quite a bit on it but one was by the doctors at Weill Cornell - Rosenwaks or something.  I can't remember the title right now.  I quite liked it (other than the fact that it was scary).  Anyway, I was thinking about you when I was reading it....  Let me know how the drugs go for you.

Re: Ashley.

  • I sure will.  I'm "lucky" that I have a friend at work that I've worked with for 4 years and she's been dealing with IF for several years now.  It's nice to have her to talk to or to ward off people when I'm having a bad day.  It is scary to say, "I have infertility".  It's like admitting you are broken.  I've had a couple of years to come to terms with the fact it was probable for me to have these problems.  It made hearing it just a little bit easier because I was prepared.  It still sucked though.

    I just want you to know that saying you have it, IF/when you get diagnosed does NOT mean you can't have a baby.  It just means you need a little help.  It's hard to see through the fog at times.  I have good days and bad days.  Holidays are hard.  Pregnancy announcements are hard.  Being a teacher is hard.  In the end, I know God has a plan for my life.  So for now, I am enjoying life with my husband and treasuring the time we have together before kids arrive.

    I'm here if you ever need to talk.  You probably have my email by now too, if you don't - it's on FB.  Before this gets any longer just know you aren't alone.  Find a support system (the bump has a good board) and be open/honest with your husband.  Mine didn't understand why pregnancy announcements were hard for me until I told him.  So, guys don't always get it but don't be afraid to tell him.  It's important he understands.

    The drugs scare me, yes.  However, I'm willing to do everything I can to give my body a chance to have a child of my own:)

    I've heard the book Hannah's Hope is good.  It's about Hannah from the Bible :)
