Talking About It

Some people have known about this since the moment that it begun and some of you may just be finding out about it for the first time. I have been asked by people why they didn't know, why we didn't tell anyone. Its not that we where keeping it a secret by any means because it is nothing that we are ashamed about. Its just not an easy thing to bring up. It doesn't really come up in a conversation, and when it does, most people get really uncomfortable. Up until a few months ago we didn't really have any answers. When people asked us questions, they want to know answers and well, we really didn't have any for them so we just kind of kept it to ourselves and if people found out that was fine. I really enjoy talking about it. For me talking about it is therapeutic. I remember my mom saying how weird it is that she has never met anyone who has gone through with invetro fertilization. I told her that if she really talked to people, she would be amazed on how many people actually have had some sort of infertility issue. It is kind of one of those subjects that nobody really talks about. 1 out of 3 couples have infertility problems. Like I said, I love talking about it. I feel that it is my responsibility to educate people that don't understand and let people know that they are not alone. I wish that there were someone that I could have talked to that knew what I was feeling. I have since talked with 3 people that have contacted me through other friends and co-workers that are just in the first stages of this and just needed to make sure that they weren't going crazy! That has been very rewarding for me. If anyone has any questions please feel free to ask. I will be posting questions and answers on this blog.
