You could blog about anything and I for one would still read it. I know it is hard to come up with other things to write about when so much of our mind is tied up in thinking about infertility. <br /><br />I hope you feel better soon :) xo<br />p.s.

Hang tight girlie! You are allowed to have as many meltdowns as necessary in the process. No one expects you to act all Pollyanna on all the meds. <br /><br />I know what you mean too about feeling like you're always stuck in the infertility rut. Let it out when you want to, but don't force it if you feel like just taking a break. I will keep coming back to offer support if you blog once a day or just once a month.

I have NO idea how you feel or what it is like to struggle with infertility, I cannot even imagine the pain and sadness... But, I have SO many close loved ones that do suffer and somehow I feel more connected to them by reading posts from bloggers like you. I just wanted to be a voice of a young mom that wants to know the right thing to say to her best friend that has spent two years trying to get pregnant, or how to look my co-worker in the eye who just had failed IVF #3 when I my belly holds our #2... Thank you for your words. I do not have advise or words of wisdom or anything poignant to share, but I just felt this need to post.

It is so frustrating and hard to put into words, but just know that in those worst of the worst moments when all that's left are tears, you're not alone. We're all right alongside you hoping and praying that tears of joy will replace the sadness. Until then, those 5 mile walks are essential (I read that part to my husband and he just nodded his head.)

I know your blog is infertility infertility, and rightfully so! It's big and it's a constant, but you are living amongst it whether happy or unhappy. Do some outfit posts, or some crafting, something to take your mind off of it. I agree with Amanda as well, don't let blogging be something you dread. But at the same time don't think that we are all only reading because of your infertility! (I don't mean for that to sound insensitive). We are reading because this is your life and how you are handling it! :)Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06447163069132663859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7033610836184814981.post-26852934564082060872013-05-28T15:31:29.673-04:002013-05-28T15:31:29.673-04:00I agree with Amanda (shocking)-- don't let blo...I agree with Amanda (shocking)-- don't let blogging pile undue pressure on you, too. You're under enough stress! Blog when you want to...don't when you don't. We all understand the cycles of wanting to blog and not wanting to...just embrace whatever blog-season you're in and do what you can. And try hard to focus on what's truly important: the new season of the Bachelorette. ;)Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11909071293780469781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7033610836184814981.post-83418338034290173102013-05-28T14:04:48.641-04:002013-05-28T14:04:48.641-04:00I totally get how you feel Aubrey...

I wrote about how that sucked, how sad I was, how I hated that I'd been dealt this crappy card. But after a few posts like that, what's left to say? It took me a while to find a rythem to blogging again when I wasn't actively cycling. And sometimes, I still feel that way. I'm not good about blogging about light-hearted, care-free, "this is what I did this weekend" or "what do you think about this nail polish?" kind of stuff. I mean I READ IT when other people write about it, but I always think no one cares when I'm searching for a topic.<br /><br />I say give yourself a break... blog when you feel like it, blog when you need some "you got this" and some "we love you", but don't feel pressure to blog. And I agree, starting up with CCRM should give you lots to talk about! I know there are several ladies following right behind you... shoot the whole infertility world wants to know the inside scoop on CCRM... give 'em the goods!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11657607481465480125noreply@blogger.com
