Self IF Article

::Waves hi to everyone::  I still lurk and blog stalk.  I wish everyone the best!

I got my new Self magazine on Friday and there is a HUGE article (the largest I've ever seen in the magazine) on IF and the secrecy and how devastating it is.  As an IF, it felt wonderful that a mainstream magazine brought the story to light.  You all should check it out, it's definitly worth a look.   It did bash forums a bit, but overall, I felt like it was me that they were talking about.

Hey, Glow! Hope you're well.

Thanks for the tip. Who's on the cover of this issue? I wonder if I got it or not, I am way behind on reading my magazines...

Happier, actually.  It's been nice to just "let go" for awhile.  The last bill from the RE that I just got last week wasn't so fun though.

How are you, dear?

Thanks, Ging!   I didn't think they'd have it online yet.

I know what you mean about letting go. It's such a relief to not analyze every little possible symptom and drink without fear And boo for the RE bill. I actually have nightmares about those lol.

I am good, having my lap tomorrow. I am trying to stuff my face as much as I can before midnight, hehe. I can safely say I've been eating nonstop since noon.

Hi Glow! Hope you're doing well - I read your blog and I am excited for whatever news you are going to post

I really liked that article.  I have started thinking about "coming out" re: our trouble TTC.  The article makes a really good point about advocacy, that it's the only thing that will increase understanding, and eventually funding, etc.
