There's this thing I look for on every Infertility blog I visit and it is always the first thing I want to see, before I dig into the meat of the blog. It tells me everything I need to know to prepare myself. It isn't something my family and friends will care so much about, but I can imagine I'm not the only infertile person cruising around the Internet who has this habit and who needs to know, before committing to reading, where this person is on her journey and how, in that very particular moment, I'm going to feel about it. So, what a shame, I realized recently, that I don't have such a thing on my blog.
Funny thing is, it used to be that if I saw a list on a blog that looks anything like mine below, I would run run away because it seemed too sad and didn't provide the hope I was looking for. Now, if this is what I see, I feel like I've found a kindred spirit. When I see anything near this length, but with a nice BFP at the end, that's the best! Thees days that's the hope I'm looking for.
Anyhow, I'll continue to keep this updated, and it is linked on the sidebar over there to your right.
