Support

So I have posted about the support of our families before.  They are indeed as supportive as they can be without really understanding what I am going through. They try.  Sometimes they fail, sometimes they say really stupid or even hurtful things, but they ARE supportive as can be.   We also have a few close friends who we have confided in.  The circle of those who know grows bit by bit and to be honest I am ok with it.  J is much more private but even he is opening up and sharing with more and more people in his path. 

I also get most of my support and knowledge from an online community.  These women have taught me so much and I can't fathom going through this without them.  I don't " know" these ladies but they get it and they are really perhaps my biggest support to be honest. They are helpful, supportive and they don't judge. 

Tonight I am going to a RESOLVE support group meeting.  RESOLVE is the  National Infertility Association.   I have thought about attending a meeting before but never did.  Tonight is the night and I am freaking nervous.  Don't know what to expect as I have never attended a support meeting.  I am hoping to connect with other women in my same situation and also learn as much as possible. 

Also tomorrow I am meeting an old friend who is going through infertility issues.  I only know this because she started posting stuff on social media and I emailed her and told her I was also going through some fertility issues and asked if she wanted to meet up.  She jumped at the chance and we are meeting for lunch to discuss.   I have no idea where she is in her journey but I am excited to talk with her and hopefully we can support each other.
