Reflection for the day: 1 Corinthians 13:13: There are three things that last for ever: faith, hope, and love; and the greatest of the three is love.

Question of the day: This is National Infertility Week. If you have dealt with infertility, what do you wish your family/friends would have done to be more supportive during your struggle with infertility? I wish that people would have realized that wanting me to become pregnant would not have made me become pregnant.

Group updates: -If you have any upcoming events (appointments, birthdays, anniversaries, etc) be sure to let me know so I can post them in the events section!!

Answer for the Question:

I wish people would have stopped saying things like, "Just relax and you'll get pregnant." Really, do you think I haven't tried being relaxed? Infertility isn't cured by relaxation.

I also wish that family had taken the time to educate themselves about infertility even just a little bit. It would have prevented a lot of stupid and hurtful comments.

Congratulations on completing your master's, Suzanne!  I hope to be joining you as an MLS grad next May.

QOTD: Our families didn't have a whole lot to say during our IF struggles, but they were always there to listen and offer their prayer and support, which we really appreciated.  I had one IRL friend to whom I could vent anything IF related and she totally understood and commiserated.  We were very lucky!
