Infertility Veterans
History of IF and 2.5 years TTC. The day we were to start our first IUI we received a call that changed our lives forever and 10 month old Olivia joined our family. Shortly thereafter we got a surprise BFP and baby 2 is due July 5, 2012
Today's FB status (I'm running out of ideas!)
This one is a bit lame but I am running out of ideas (and like someone else said, almost feel like I'm beating a dead horse).
Status: Today's Myth: Infertility is all the woman's fault (or all the man's fault - depending on who you're talking to.
My comment: Reality: it surprises most people to learn that infertility is a female problem in 35% of the cases, a male problem in 35% of the cases, a combined problem of the couple in 20% of cases, and unexplained in 10% of cases. The reality is that ...many people who deal with infertility never even know what the problem is and remain diagnosed as "unexplained infertility" which makes it diffivult for them to understand the problem and to decide on a solution.

Re: Today's FB status (I'm running out of ideas!)
I like it. I think most people assume that there is an easy-to-find diagnosis for IF couples and that it is either the man or the woman's "fault." I like that you are sharing with people how vague these diagnoses actually are and that there are often combined problems, or the problems are completely unexplained.

~~ My IF Blog ~~
I've also been posting links to video's from youtube. I posted the one for Kellie Coffey's song "I would die for that" (all about IF). I had one from the website tearsandhope.com that I saved from years ago. I search youtube last night for a "good" PCOS video to post since that is dx. I have been "stealing" post from here as well.
I have limited access to the internet during the day (do FB off of my phone) but if you want any addititonal ideas I can post them later tonight when I get home or you can find me on FB. If you want to find me, I'll send you a PM with my name to search me out.
