Well it's national infertility awareness week. Monday I hosted my second monthly support group meeting and surprisingly we had an absolutely wonderful turnout and a very meaningful supportive meeting. I was actually surprised that the group grew from 2 to 12 so quickly. Below is an anonymous email I received from one of the new members after the meeting...
"I just wanted to thank you so much for starting the support group and for creating such a warm and supportive environment - especially when you are in the midst yourself. In the 1.5 yrs I've been in this downward spiral this was probably the most positive thing I've done for myself. Thank you!"
It was such an inspiring group of individuals that came together to support each other. It really feels nice to know that you can be there for others and relate to them in a way that really no one else can in less there going through infertility.
Today our egg donor went in for her retrieval and we ended up with 25 eggs. They said she is doing great and resting. Now I am just praying that we will have 20 frozen embryos by the end of the week.
Yesterday when I was hosting group and listening to others around me I thought to myself wow we have this egg donor now and we're moving forward and everything is happening but yet I can't even think about it because it's been so many years now that my emotions are somewhat detached from my own experiences.... In the spirit of infertility awareness remember #youarenotalone
