Infertility Support Group

Your Dr's should have a list of fertily counselors to help with the emotional side of it all. We are all here for you. I see my family counselor for these issues as well. They can also refer you to someone more specialized in that area.

Most people in Western society are isolated and do not have the fundamental support of an extended family, or "tribe." We have developed, over the course of human history, in a group setting where we were never alone and always had support. Sadly, that is not the case today.

Groups like this, however, add a modicum of support, but being part of a real support group---which is based upon natural medicine, psychological support, and spiritual insight (and finding ways to connect to the power of life within yourself)---seems to be the best. So, even though you are on this group, see if you can find some real, live persons to share and bond with.

Other possibilities, in terms of the body-mind-spirit approach can be found on the website:

This might give you some real insights.

Yours. . . .

I, too, have felt so down and depressed about the fact that I cannot create a miracle. There have been many times when I spend an entire day in bed-crying. I often go days without smiling! How awful it is to be on this journey-I totally understand it all. But you must realize that there are many more things to life that Infertilty. Hopefully you have a supportive husband, like I do-you must remember that days spent crying-depressed-sad-angry,etc. are days that you will never get back-time that is lost forever.
When I am in positive moods-I write in my "Smiling" Journal-I write little entries or stories that bring smiles to my face and at the end of each entry- I write this:
"Tomorrow is not garanteed, your life can change in the next second. Make the most of each moment and remember that Tomorrow is a new day." Maybe this is something you can try.
I know how hard it is-but you have to keep your head up and know that Tomorrow is a new day!

Counseling has been VERY helpful for me. Definitely seek it out if you are feeling bad.
Take care of yourself, talk with your husband, and make an appt. to talk with somoeone.
Thinking of you.
