National Infertility Week

April 21-27 is National Infertility Week.  I saw this week last year and hoped not to see it again this year but alas here we are in infertility week again.  Infertility affects more people than most people realize.  Some people keep quiet and have feeling of shame or embarrassment.  Others voice their pain through social media like I do.  In my mind, the more that people are aware of what it's like to want something so badly and when you do everything right and you still don't get the one thing you want.  Or when you see that beautiful second line on a pregnancy test and the joy and excitement you feel that it's finally your turn only to have it taken away from you 4 short weeks later.

I'm very thankful that through this journey I have the support of my husband.  There is no man that will walk the road of infertility with their wife if he doesn't want to be there.  It is a hard road filled with pain (both literally and emotionally).  With each new treatment plan comes new pain.  With each treatment plan that fails you lose hope that your dream will ever come true.

That is where I am today, on a new treatment plan and rapidly losing hope.

Here is the website for national infertility awareness week.  I hope that if you are reading this blog that you will do something to help either by supporting this organization, posting it on your blog because you have a friend of a friend who is suffering from infertility, or just by praying for the thousands of woman who are going through this on a daily basis.
