I know it's scary hitting post, but I personally found blogging about our experience rather therapeutic. Keeping my experience bottled up inside and putting on a brave face every day was exhausting. I felt much better putting it out there. I hope you find a similar release in sharing your story. Sending you such big hugs.Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17645141331960382597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13000256.post-64420126097059056042015-10-09T16:17:02.258-04:002015-10-09T16:17:02.258-04:00Also, thank you for making me feel better about my...Also, thank you for making me feel better about my inability to show excitement over my fetal grandson. He's due December 1st, but he still doesn't seem real to me. It's as though I'm afraid to fall in love with him until I can hold him for the first time.

My desire-to-be-a-mommy switch was probably in the "on" position when I was born, so my poor husband had to put up with me crying every single month for several years. So yes, I totally get the crushing feelings when you are trying and it doesn't happen. <br />I'm personally glad you are blogging about this because too many people keep silent about important stuff, and then when others go through the same things, everyone feels alone. <br />I'm wishing you the best as you & Chris work through a lot of decisions and medical stuff (and, oh the insurance crap! Don't even get me started... but feel free to blog away on any topic you wish to write about).

However, we do have plenty of experience with not getting to the conceiving part. We are still working through our issues and hope to be moving along in the process soon.<br /><br />If you want to talk about anything, we are more than willing. We have found that talking to others helps us feel less alone in the process and also helps our emotional states.<br /><br />Best wishes!Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14053783789193519299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13000256.post-3204439941117922292015-09-28T13:39:56.449-04:002015-09-28T13:39:56.449-04:00So many things I want to say: how sorry I am that ...So many things I want to say: how sorry I am that you're going through this, how good it is that you have a plan, how much I am hoping that things work out!

Unfortunately I can relate to finding out that there's pretty much zero chance of conceiving without assistance, but thank goodness that assistance is available. My daughter is the product of our second round of IVF, which is a bit of an emotionally overwhelming adventure, but she is totally worth everything we went through for her. I don't know that you're looking for advice, but I will say the best thing I did was find a group in the infertility group on BabyCenter. It was my biggest source of support, these women were going through the same thing I was at the same time and could understand how I was feeling better than anyone (even my 10000% supportive husband). <br /><br />Best of luck to you - I hope you continue to blog about it, it's a shame that more people don't talk about it.

I'm glad you have some answers and a plan and I'm also rage-y that your insurance doesn't cover it. I want to be like, are you SURE? I feel like more and more insurance is covering fertility assistance recently. Come onnnn, insurance. Step UP.<br /><br />Xoxoxo to you and we will be here to support you through whatever comes next.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15942269316108576622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13000256.post-91945629164262600492015-09-23T10:31:31.281-04:002015-09-23T10:31:31.281-04:00I'm sorry lady.

And I think it's really good you are talking about it, because people don't, but I know so many who've gone through stuff like this... and that it's more common that people think doesn't make it any easier, but I bet there are lots who can relate when you really need that person who's been in that situation before. kilaxhttp://www.ilaxstudio.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13000256.post-86037031089401805072015-09-23T07:23:42.958-04:002015-09-23T07:23:42.958-04:00I'm extremely interested in this.
