Why we created this blog

We are two infertile women, who have been friends for 25 years. We are both in our early thirties, and are desperately trying, with our respective husbands, to start families.

We are both at different stages of the process, but we compare notes with each other about our journeys.

We usually talk on the phone, weekly, if not daily, to compare the "newest thing" or the latest comments we have heard from people.

We decided that to help us recover and heal in our respective processes that we would start a blog about the comments we have heard from the fertile world. The ones that make us laugh, and the ones that sting or make us cry.

We realize that the comments are well intended, and from people who love us dearly, but they are less than helpful to us, and infertile women like us. 

Thank you for stopping by our blog, and please, feel free to add to the conversation. We know that we are not the only women hearing these comments, and would love to increase our readership as well as what is and is not helpful to say to women, or men, who are on the journey of infertility.

By the way, neither of us are doctors, nor are our husbands. This is not a medical blog, just mere words in hopes to heal ourselves, and the other couples out there, as well as to help the fertile world in how they speak with those of us that are not yet fertile.
