"Just relax"-what lovely advice

Often times this is the advice given to those of us struggling with infertility. This article was published last week in the NY times. It was written by Peggy Orenstein who also wrote Waiting for Daisy-which is one my absolute favorite books. I just wanted to share this article and wonderful author.

"Just relax and it will happen" seems simple and harmless enough, but somebody please tell me just how to do that???!!! Wanting a baby impedes every single part of your life from what you eat, to how you exercise, to how you plan your life. It becomes the only thing that you can think and talk about. I know that people probably get tired of me being on my "infertility kick", but it makes me feel better to put it out there and I think that it is important to help others understand. Anybody tired of hearing about it yet? That's okay...I am pretty tired of it too!

But you know what???? "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"

And just for fun, a silly quote.....

"If it's so hard to get pregnant, how do you account for the number of crying children on planes?" - Samantha (SATC)
