IF is way too common

in Success after IF

We know far too many people IRL who are dealing or have dealt with IF. (Thankfully, most of them are now success stories.)

This morning one of my daycare providers explained that she was having so many doctor's appointments because she's having trouble TTC. When I said I understood because I had to see an RE too, she told me that one of the other moms also had went through treatments. So of the five kids they care for, at least two of them are "success after IF" babies.

Makes me sad. I especially feel for anyone going through IF while working a child/baby-oriented job. I hope my DCP's IF journey is brief.

    It really is and so sad. I used to look around the packed waiting room at the RE's office and think, wow- who is left to get pregant without help!? I know so many people IRL that have or are dealing with IF.

    My sister dealt with IF- had twins with Clomid, after loosing a baby at 20 weeks. In my old office there was 8 of us who dealt with IF, in my husbands office there were 10 girls that were struggling to get pregnant, and in my new office there is a few who can't get pregnant, one girl just adopted and I am SO happy for her.

    It's amazing how many people struggle- leads me to think there has to be something environmentally that is causing this.

    Our Journey from two to three! 3 IUI's, 2 IVF's, decided to move to foster/adopt. 12/24/2009 Baby C born, 2/1/2010 placed with us, 5/17/2011 Adoption final- we are finally a forever family! Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker

    I agree.  I am the same way. I know so many people with IF and these are close friends, family and coworkers noy just aquaintances. I know 3 coworkers, 2 good friends and 5 family members.  We all have a wide range of issues.  These people have needed anything from just clomid to IVF. It is just crazy to me how common IF really is. Definitely makes me sad. I garee it must be so hard for your DCP to see babies everyday.

    I agree!  While going through IF I taught/and still do-in an inner city school and it made me soooo bitter seeing so many horrible parents who sure had no trouble getting pregant!  If I didn't get PG I'm sure I would've quit teaching.  I bet it is ever harder for DCP's :(
