I'm trying to connect with more like minded women in the blogging community. It's been a struggle trying to read blogs of fertile myrtles, not to mention all the people in my "real life"...they are EVERYWHERE. But I find comfort in connecting with other women who are going through what we are. We've only had three failed IUIs and definitely haven't experienced the heartache you have. I'm so sorry and I hope your baby dreams come true soon! lo @ crazy ever afterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01647412175374780183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7033610836184814981.post-2424181145472570432013-03-30T17:17:55.796-04:002013-03-30T17:17:55.796-04:00Your story resonates with me.

We almost broke up over it and that was when I finally conceived. It was truly a miracle. There is light at the end of the tunnel but it can be a long, sad and frustrating journey.Maureenhttp://www.prsfertility.com/ivf_pgd.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7033610836184814981.post-41070192465842375132013-03-24T03:40:55.529-04:002013-03-24T03:40:55.529-04:00Hi there!

Wow, you must have been inside my head when you wrote this because everything you've said is dead on what I'm feeling/thinking right now. Infertility is so much like living a double life. I hope CCRM can bring you your miracle baby! I'll be rooting for you!

It's hard to try to reconcile with yourself when everything around you seems to slap you back in the face with it. I'm sorry for your sadness and I hope CCRM brings you your miracle and you can be fighting for the week off in April to spend time with ur kid. Thinking of you!

I keep meaning to share this song with you that I love - it's called, "He Said" by Group 1 Crew. I think you will be able to relate to and be encouraged by the lyrics, even if the song is slightly cheesy :)the blogivershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16625021727803459360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7033610836184814981.post-44592778513041149642013-03-22T19:22:07.724-04:002013-03-22T19:22:07.724-04:00As always I appreciate your honesty.

I can totally relate to trying to push out thoughts about IF at woe. Fortunately I love my job so that helps. And they follow me to the gym too. Boo. I truely believe you are going to get a family. Not sure how that will be but I know you will be such a loving mom!

The real me wants to pity those having a tough pregnancy or complaining about their kids for various reasons, but the infertile me me wants to snap back with at least your body isn't constantly failing you! At least you can get prego or have kids! Just another thing that we are robbed of is our compassionate caring self! Feeling even worse for such insensituve thoughts! However, like I've said before I refuse to let this control my whole life, my thoughts and my actions. If that were the case I wouldn't get out of bed in the morning! I wouldn't smile or e thankful for the good things going on. My marriage would be non-existent because that is all I would want to talk about! I miss having the easy life, the one where I can be myself completely!!

The rawness of your words hits home in a big way, and I just applaud you for sharing how you feel in such a descriptive and open way. <br /><br />When the day comes that you have to blowdry your hair in the hot steamy bathroom while hubby showers, you will never ever complain about it...or much else that many other mothers or wives do. You are going to be an AMAZING mother someday. This journey sucks so terribly bad, but it WILL make you and I both better mothers someday.

It's seems so difficult to reconcile the person we want to be and the person we've turned into because of infertility.
