		<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>

		<description><![CDATA[ In this era of &#8220;octomoms&#8221; and families of 8 or 18 it is easy to understand how people can have misconceptions about infertility and its treatment.  As I was searching for information and statistics regarding multiple births and fertility treatment (out of pure curiosity), I realized that there are A LOT of myths [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
One of the fertility myths that annoys me the most is the misperception that adopting a child will cause you to become pregnant. The media continues to perpetuate this myth, which might be one reason that people seem to buy into this nonsense.
I adopted my son almost seven years ago, and I have not become [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
When I was trying to conceive, I lost count of the number of &#8220;solutions&#8221; to our woes offered by well-meaning family and friends. I can look back now and see the humor in these suggestions. However, when I was going through the process, I was not amused. 
Here are some of the solutions that I [...]]]></description>

&#8220;Womankind: Is SeasonaleÃ‚Â® Reasonable?&#8221;
Elaine Stillerman, LMT, wrote the above article for Massage Today, a publication that I receive.  She is upset with the marketing of SeasonaleÃ‚Â®, and wonders if other women feel the same way.
 Is there anyone else feeling disgusted and outraged at the latest assault on women by the pharmaceutical industry? Are [...]]]></description>

There is hardly any one comment that makes trying-to-be parents as crazy as the above statement.  It seems to say that there is a &#8220;blame&#8221; to lay on someone, and you are the intended target, since you are so incapable of handling your stress, you are being punished by not having a child.

#6 Your Fertility Problems Are All In Your Head.
This myth felt true, each time I went in to the doctor and didn&#8217;t receive any other explanation for our difficulties other than, &#8220;It hasn&#8217;t been that long.&#8221; or &#8220;Don&#8217;t worry, you&#8217;re young.&#8221;  Although we never received a medical diagnosis, [...]]]></description>
