Why I am walking...

We are having a cranky day in our house so this post will be short. Infertility changes you and it is a something that cannot be easily explained to those outside of the infertility community. Even though I have my family and I have been lucky enough to have lightning strike twice (on IVF cycles #6 (princess) and #7(pumpkin)) I am not "cured." My successful treatment cannot remake the person I was before infertility nor do I want it to. A whole lot of the journey really sucked physically, emotionally, and financially. Not many good things can be said but I did find a silver lining... One of the wonderful things about being infertile is that I have found and made connections with some amazing women. I have said that if you have to go through all of this at least you know that the women of the boards have your back. Some of us have met in person and some of us will never meet but we have all had the opportunity to touch lives and take our pain and turn it into something positive. I am walking to honor the women of the boards.
