For anyone following along

I know it's been forever, but speaking to no one in particular with no one in particular failing to respond kinda stopped being satisfying. I ended up joining an online support group just so I could have a two-way conversation. Yep, I got desperate.

But in the off chance that there's someone out there who might read this and wonder what happened, IVF happened. I went under the needles in September 2009, and it worked! I got pregnant, and now I have my sweet little boy. I never knew I could love something this much. I knew I wanted him, but it's so much different, harder, and better than I expected. He is what was missing my whole life.

And lest that sound like gloating, let me assure you that I haven't forgotten where I came from, and I certainly haven't forgotten those who are still struggling with IF. I can still remember the unbelievable pain of it all. If I can offer any advice, all I can say is that if you can do it, please consider IVF. In the end, it was not nearly as horrible as I anticipated, but it was an emotional roller coaster just as much as anything else in the land of IF.

I am thinking of you, dear nooneinparticular, and wishing good things for you.
