My Infertility Story

This page is my response to all of the wonderful support, curiousity and questions that have brought infertile women, couples, or just plain old people sensitive to the subject. It is a story that has a beginning, and a middle, but likely no end.

This page will be under continual construction. The entries appear below in the order that they were published, though they often speak of emotions relating to past events so are evidently not necessarily chronological.

Enjoy, comment, email me, lurk… make yourself at home and do whatever you like. Just please, don’t tell me that if I stop thinking about it/adopt/just relax I’ll get preggers. Deal?
