Through the years our conversations have changed as together we have made it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Right before I began my IVF cycle I could hardly concentrate on anything else; my every thought centered around the upcoming treatment.  That is why I was sadistically semi-happy about the major toothache I got only a couple of days before my first monitoring visit. The pain in my mouth helped distract me [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ About four years ago my mother-in-law gave me a fertility doll that was supposed to give me good luck in efforts to conceive.  Either I have unrealistic expectations on how fast that doll was supposed to work, or my particular fertility doll was faulty.  Either way I don&#8217;t think I can give [...]]]></description>

I am very active in my church. I am a member of both a Sunday School class and a Bible study. Inevitably, these classes get around to the Ten Commandments, and we talk about which commandment is the hardest to obey. Some people struggle with keeping the Sabbath. (I am happy to have an excuse [...]]]></description>

When I had been going through fertility treatments for a couple of years, somebody told me that &#8220;it&#8217;s not like infertility is cancer. Nobody is going to die.&#8221; I was flabbergasted by this comment. I am sure this person saw this comment as trying to reframe my situation so it would not seem as bad, [...]]]></description>

When you are struggling with your fertility, it is easy to fall into the misperception that you are &#8220;just an infertile woman.&#8221; Because so much of your life winds up revolving around trying to conceive a child, particularly if you are going through fertility treatments, it is easy to lose sight of the other aspects [...]]]></description>

On my favorite morning radio show, the disc jockeys were talking about a new study showing that breastfeeding does not cause saggy breasts. They talked about how this is great news because the benefits of breastfeeding are well known, but many women choose not to breastfeed their babies because they do not want their breasts [...]]]></description>
