The friends I've made so far are priceless - its worth everything second of the catharsis of writing everything down for almost everyone to see.<BR/><BR/>Pamela... your comments are always so full of uplifting compliments, thanks! You are one of the women who makes it easier for me to go along as well... hugs!<BR/><BR/>Summer, thanks for the compliment! Never thought my posts were helping enough to be printed out :)<BR/><BR/>Pluto, that day was closer than I thought. I showed my blog to my best friend, and he was very touched by it! Still waiting for his comment though, don't know if he'd post them.<BR/><BR/>Sharah, thanks! You are one of the people who have been there for me with a kind and encouraging word... I really do appreciate it!KarenOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430826693486690223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2615589477786951216.post-87864983778503241172007-06-08T15:24:00.000+02:002007-06-08T15:24:00.000+02:00I don't think anyone ever gets to the place where ...I don't think anyone ever gets to the place where they're "okay" with IF. We get to a point where we can accept it, and move on with our lives around IF, but I don't know of anyone who would choose this route voluntarily. <BR/><BR/>We'll be here for you though, when you need us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2615589477786951216.post-40409328463886441402007-06-08T12:06:00.000+02:002007-06-08T12:06:00.000+02:00I think that day will come when you feel you can r...I think that day will come when you feel you can reveal your blog to your friends and family. Not because "it's all sorted out" as you once imagined, but because you're living by the wonderful thoughts that you expressed in the later part of your post.plutohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660302665561783021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2615589477786951216.post-77041105467800861272007-06-08T00:59:00.000+02:002007-06-08T00:59:00.000+02:00Your affirmations are ones every infertile needs a...Your affirmations are ones every infertile needs and needs to be reminded of, especially in dark times. <BR/><BR/>I'm printing them out as a reminder for myself that, even though I have to live with infertility, it needn't control me.Summerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10462071403127406819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2615589477786951216.post-51327409232289306882007-06-07T18:10:00.000+02:002007-06-07T18:10:00.000+02:00Great thoughts!

It gets a little more manageable as I make my way along. And as your Emily Dickenson quote points out, it's been as much because of women like you as anything else. <BR/><BR/>As I told another woman who has been down our path, I feel a new sense of "normal" as a result of meeting and sharing with those like us.Pamela T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11474998003921896431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2615589477786951216.post-56090548810882863302007-06-07T15:17:00.000+02:002007-06-07T15:17:00.000+02:00I feel so sad for you!

You can't change things, and you keep on doing the very best you can,which is the only thig you can do. But every so often your heart breaks all over again!<BR/><BR/>Keep writing the blog though. It's a great healer, and you'll make lots of friendsI Beatricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671136605194399080noreply@blogger.com
