My First Blog Post

Until I started fertility treatment I had never heard of blogging. Now, I am not sure what I would do without it. Every day I check my favorite blogs. I am happy when "my friends" are successful and sad when the trials of infertility knock them down. I feel like I know these people and they know me. Despite this, I have never left a comment on a blog (until tonight). I feel like they know me because they know what it is like to want a child more than anything else and have it denied. They know what it is like to try month after month only to be disappointed. They know what it is like to hear a doctor say "I'm not sure why it is not working but let's try...."

So here I am. I am willing to share my story because I know there are people out there who will take comfort solely in the fact that they are not going through this process alone. I know because I took great comfort in reading other stories and knowing that others faced the same fears and heartbreak that I did.

So... I will post and if anyone wants to read my story and know that they are not alone - great. If not, maybe it will be therapeutic just to put my thoughts on paper. For now there is nothing to do but take it one day at a time.
