I, for example, am a very anxious person who worries about everything.  That carried over into my infertility struggles as I literally obsessed [...]]]></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>

		<description><![CDATA[ This is not really advice or guidance, but rather reassurance that your thoughts and feelings are normal.  When you are struggling to conceive, or when the only thing you can think about is having a child it often seems as if EVERYONE is pregnant.

In my last post, TV Show &#8220;Friends&#8221;: Final Season and Infertility, I talked about how unfair it was that Monica, who had always wanted to be a mother, was unable to conceive while her friend, Rachel, had a surprise pregnancy.
