Sharing

In the past couple of weeks I have had a number of people approach me about infertility. None of these people where those that I shared and confided in, but all heard about our struggle with infertility through others that though they choose as a confident, had not necessarily dealt with infertility themselves. I know "coming out" is not easy - it takes a lot of personal strength and motivation for both the husband and wife, but it is really important to at least tell someone. We don't realize how much support and strength we can get even just from knowing someone else had to deal with the same situation, even more so having the ability to talk with someone who has an inkling of what it is like. We all face different obstacles in our road to fertility and I by no means claim to comprehend the individual challenges each person faces, but we can provide tremendous levels of support for each other. Please talk with someone - a family member, friend, support group or myself. I am more than happy to personally be in contact with anyone through email or phone.
