New Year, New Leaf

Happy New Year to one and all! I'm turning over a new leaf this year. I'm going to talk openly and honestly about everything concerning my infertility. From the very start of our treatment at the Fertility Center, the staff all said that one of the biggest keys to getting through fertility is to talk to somebody. They encourage joining support groups, seeing counselors, doing yoga and accupuncture and massage...all that touchy feely new age stuff. I have to admit I'm a skeptic. I can't really see how emotional improvements can lead phisiological improvements...especially internal ones like, for instance ovulation. But so far my skepticism hasn't gotten me anywhere except to Depression Alley in Bittersville, so it's worth a shot. I tried to join an online support group for infertility and couldn't stand the sicky sweetness of all the contributors there. They sounded like a bunch of sappy losers (sorry Daily Support) and by joing them I was admiting that I, too, am a sappy loser. I may be the loser part, but I don't have to be the sappy part. This blog may be the balance I need to open up without getting an "Awwww...and how does that make you feel?" in response. I'll friggin' tell you how I feel...and I'll be telling you all year long. Got some big stuff to get off my chest and got some big events coming up in the world of baby making, so stay tuned.
