My Infertility Fight

The reason I’m putting this together is to try and help someone else that may be going through the same thing (or something similar) to what I’m going through.

These posts are (or could be):

• Personal. There are a lot of people who don’t like to talk (or read) about personal stuff. If you’re one of those people, this section of my site is not for you.
• TMI. Sometimes, for my healing purposes, things might become personal to the point of TMI. It also helps to explain some of the pain (mental and physical) and if that’s how I need to reach someone to let them know they’re not alone, then that’s what I’ll do.
• Religious. I’m a Mormon. I love being a Mormon. The people aren’t perfect and I will never claim that they are. This site will include religious references because those too are part of my healing.

These posts are not:

• Hateful. I’ve been through a lot and people are sometimes pretty stupid, but not on purpose. People are, for the most part, caring and have good intentions. They don’t generally mean to be hurtful – they’re just clueless.
• Medical advice. What I will write about will be the things that have helped me. What helps me might not help anyone else. I’m not a doctor and I’m not offering advice on things to talk to your doctor about. These are only the things that I’ve been through and the things I’ve learned.
• A pity party. I’m not trying to get anyone to feel sorry for me. This is part of my healing/grieving/coping process and an attempt to help someone else. That’s it.

I will include links to articles that I think are helpful. I’ll include quotes that I like. The hope is that someone else will find the same things helpful, and that’s it.

I believe that we were put on this earth at the same time to help each other. We’re all different. If we were all the same, life would be boring and we wouldn’t need each other. We’re not the same, and to me that means that we need each other for something. I simply hope that this blog will be that for someone else.

Don’t feel alone, because you’re not. Someone else has been there and has felt what you feel. It might not be me, but I can tell you that your Savior has felt it. He had to in order for the atonement to be infinite and complete.

He loves us and has given us opportunities to help each other. So let’s do it.
