National Infertility Awareness Week

I've been having a hard time deciding what to post, too many different avenues run through my mind. 

Today is the last day of National Infertility Awareness Week. 

A few things happened at the end of last week, that started me down the path of wondering if I might be struggling with infertility or secondary infertility.  I looked up some infertility web sites and read some blogs.  Once I got passed the word "infertility" then I felt guilty that I have a child and would even suggest to myself that I struggle with infertility.

I don't want to say it.  I hate saying it.  But the fact of the matter is if you've been trying for more than a year and have had 2 or more concurrent miscarriages, you're dealing with infertility.  I feel like "infertility" is such a final word.  When you say it, you mean you can't have children, but I can... I did!  

I found a website resolve.org that helped me come to terms with the word. I'm not sure what that means about the rest of everything, but God knows... 

I can still and am still resting in that. 

If you or someone you know is struggling with infertility I encourage them to check out Resolve.  Don't hide from your own fears.

If you are close to someone struggling with infertility think before you speak; words do hurt, love them and listen, most importantly be open and honest.
