Infertility Support Group Blog: St. Louis

What do we do in Infertility Support Group? Well, we talk, we laugh, we SUPPORT. Sometimes we just sit and chat, sometimes we eat at a fun restaurant, sometimes we catch a movie, sometimes we go to Walgreen's en masse to help our newest member find the appropriate supplies...lol. Often we share Dr. information, insurance information, adoption information, natural remedy information, helpful articles and scriptures. The most fascinating thing I have found about the support group is that I didn't know I needed it until I had it, and my sisters and friends poured solace into wounded places I didn't know I was harboring.

More information to follow as the dates get closer, but I just wanted to get this up so ya'll can start marking it on your calendars. I know both dates are on Wednesdays, that's unfortunately just the way it worked out with both of the speakers availabilities. Hopefully you can find a substitute, miss a week, get a babysitter, whatever is necessary if you have a conflict on Wednesdays. These should be great presentations chock full of information!
