After 7 years of infertility and 10 IVF cycles, this . . .brought up a lot. The fear of getting too excited. The emotions. . .all of it. And this: "I could tell you about the hurt that comes from good-intentioned people who don't know what to say or say the wrong thing." I can't tell you how many people said, "Just go hold a baby. That will solve it." (Will that undo my husband's vasectomy? Gee whiz!) Thank you for your honesty. Grace to you.

Wow that sounds so hard Laurie😔 thanks for sharing part of your story. I can’t even imagine. Yes we try not to fault them for not knowing how to respond to such a tender experience but it’s hard not to feel hurt at times. And thank you for reading♥️
