Mostly for me, but also for you

This new blog was primarily conceived (pardon the pun) of my need for a place to keep all of the crazy details involved with our infertility path straight and in one place.  I also needed a place to write down my emotions and reactions as time goes on, as I have found journal writing too cumbersome.  That is odd for me to say, since writing used to be so much a part of my life, but it's true that the digital age has taken over and tapping keys is easier than wielding a pen...my fingers don't get as tired running across the keyboard.  

I also wanted a place to keep our select group of family and friends up to date on what is happening with us, as it has become difficult to keep sharing the same information multiple times.  I forget who I've told, the details become jumbled or lost, and at times, the information is painful to share over and over again, ie my period arrived and we are not pregnant...again.  

I want to stress how grateful Jason and I feel to have such a wonderful support network, inclusive of both family and friends.  As we enter into our 16th month of infertility, it really is a blessing to have so many people rooting for us and saying prayers and sending good thoughts.  We couldn't get through it without you and your support means so much.  So thank you, and I hope this blog is useful for you, as I hope it is for me.  Please don't feel obligated to keep tabs on us all the time, as I know everyone has their own worries and things going on in their lives, but if you're curious to see how things are going, take a look at the blog.  

There is a mild disclaimer that comes with reading this blog.  Infertility is not pretty.  There are, have been and will continue to be aspects of it that are not fun to read about.  Just be thankful you're reading about them and not enduring them yourself.  If you have endured them, you can empathize and I empathize with you.  If you don't care to read about my monthly cycles, but still want to keep abreast of what's happening, just skim over the "uncomfortable" parts.  I'm not going to edit this blog for anyone to make it happier or less uncomfortable, and I'm not going to apologize for it.  

And here we go...
