This morning, D saw this article on our MSN homepage. He told me about it and I finally got around to reading it this evening. I thought it was a very well written article about struggling with infertility. It is hard to talk about when you are struggling with infertility because it is so personal. For me, I didn't want the constant questions like, "Any news yet?" or "how are 'things' going?" Now that I have been through years of infertility ending in one beautiful and healthy son, I am able to be much more open about my struggle with infertility.
Redbook and Resolve (the National Infertility Association) are joining together to launch a national campaign called The Truth About Trying to raise awareness about infertility. I think it's great that more awareness is being raised for such an important issue. Unless you have struggled with infertility, you probably don't realize how devastating it really can be.
I told D about the campaign and he told me I should make a video and submit it. I haven't ever done something like that before, but I don't see any reason I can't participate. I'll work on that and post the video I make.

The Truth About Trying
I was watching some of the videos and I clicked on this video only to realize that he is the other doctor at my fertility clinic! He did one of our IUIs and is a great doctor but I love what he says at the end. Don't give up. If we had given up, we would not have the wonderful blessing of our little boy come into our lives. He was worth all the heartache, pain, and tears. In fact, I think that I love him even more because we worked so hard to get him here.
