Trusting His Timing: March 2013

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.

Links to More Great Words of Wisdom

First of all, I wanted to post a link to a wonderful Facebook page on infertility that has some wonderful comments and discussions.

I read the following article from a link on this Facebook page. My favorite passage of one woman's letter to her infertile self follows:

"...That’s just biology. What God did give you was the heart of a mother. I know that it feels like a curse, to have the desire to be a mother so badly and a body that won’t cooperate, but this is the part of you that will lead you to your first child. Follow your heart and your belief in God and you will be a mother. Always remember it does not take a pregnancy to become a mother."

My prayers and sympathy go out to everyone traveling this road. The best advice I could give to you? Find some other travelers who are making the same journey. Walk the road together. Cry together. Laugh together. Do shots together (and we all know I'm not talking about alcohol), and it becomes a lot easier. After all, a burden shared is a burden halved.
