It's nice to know that someone out there feels the same as I do. And now I know what to call those sudden outbursts of sadness! ��Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796567495279991510.post-35081879938782866652014-07-17T00:02:30.589-07:002014-07-17T00:02:30.589-07:00Great and informative article on fighting with inf...Great and informative article on fighting with infertility.Infertility Clinichttp://www.calameo.com/read/003666545dec1b48312d5noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796567495279991510.post-37793086570402597962014-05-04T22:00:15.010-07:002014-05-04T22:00:15.010-07:00Good news for all infertile parents and new ray of...Good news for all infertile parents and new ray of hope for them.<br />Infertility Solutionshttp://www.infertilitysolutions.com/mini-stimIVFoptions.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796567495279991510.post-50708851521888407562014-04-14T23:05:57.306-07:002014-04-14T23:05:57.306-07:00Good blog and this is the great success has been a...Good blog and this is the great success has been achieved by having a child in your arms after a long period of loneliness.Infertility Treatmentshttp://infertility.newsvine.com/_news/2014/04/10/23436651-infertility-help-things-you-should-know-aboutnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796567495279991510.post-48726106070229046882013-03-19T20:19:18.884-07:002013-03-19T20:19:18.884-07:00This is one of the bravest, most beautiful things ...This is one of the bravest, most beautiful things I have ever read.

No different than any of us. :)<br /><br />Stay strong and we wish u all the best! :)Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00936084000871474007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796567495279991510.post-41737009910383333492013-01-23T07:43:19.675-08:002013-01-23T07:43:19.675-08:00We love you guys!

I love that you wrote about what you're feeling--I'm a strong believer in giving voice to the things that are hard for us and that hurt us. I think it is important and helps us to deal emotionally with them. I hope you can continue writing, even if it's not in a public forum.Michellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796567495279991510.post-68250411165903105522013-01-23T05:49:27.091-08:002013-01-23T05:49:27.091-08:00Alicia, I may be the last person you want to hear ...Alicia, I may be the last person you want to hear from...but I just wanted to send you a little love. I had a miscarriage a year ago, and I remember the feelings of...desperation. "But wait...I WANTED that! It was MINE!" It is so easy to get jaded, and to give up hope. (Baby #3 is LITERALLY due any day, and I still can't seem to let myself get excited, or even believe I really get to take home a healthy baby.) <br /><br />You are such a strong woman, and I'm just sure you're an amazing mama. "Chi sau dou dai", Baahk. You're a really, really important part of a village. For my kids, their oldest Aunt (my twin sister) is next in line after Mom and Dad in importance. A great relationship with aunts, uncles and cousins is priceless. (I am NOT saying it replaces being a Mom..never give up on that goal. I'm just trying to say that being an aunt is really REALLY important, too.) <br /><br /><3LunaMoonbeamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09945247325982035591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796567495279991510.post-65920718788098523052013-01-21T22:10:32.391-08:002013-01-21T22:10:32.391-08:00Thank you for writing this.

I have felt the same as you! You wrote it so well!

Although I've experienced infertility, you can't compare it. It feels like a completely different thing. <br /><br />I can relate to being happy a sometimes and getting slapped in the face at other times. I find myself crying quite often because even though I have Beck, infertility is still so tender. We don't know if we'll be successful in having any more children biologically and that uncertainty is difficult to face. Our joy with Beck is so great, I want to be able to experience that with other children. It's hard to see something that's so difficult for some, come so easy for others. <br /><br />I've been thinking about you guys a lot lately and pray and fast for you often.
