Oh infertility is so terrifying – it’s all the unknowns and I think it’s totally natural to try to want to surround yourself with information. It’s both an escape from the current terror of not knowing whether you will ever have a child and a way to rationalize away hard feelings. We were lucky and I feel like I can’t compete with Wendy’s feelings (not that infertility should ever be a competition). We went from a startling prognosis telling us that our only option of we could get any viable sperm at all was Ivf with icsi. Now I say we were lucky in that it worked the first try. So I cannot fathom having to do that more than once. It’s awful on so many levels but I can say without knowing Wendy at all, that she shouldn’t worry about the type of mother she will be – she cares so much and she will always care. I think the one thing infertility did for me is to love so hard and to sacrifice other parts of my life because when it did happen, everything else material fell away. I so hope that this is your cycle and that all your note taking can transfer to something else.
