Infertility Support Group
In vitro fertilization is one of the most common and utilized ways of treating conception problems. This support group is dedicated to those beginning their journey with IVF and needing support. Join the community and share your experiences, advice, and story with people going through similar challenges starting a family.
Lately I have been thinking a lot about how my life has changed because of IF, and lately I've been realizing that not all things emerging from this experience are bad. For me, IF has completely changed my life's direction, and cracked my heart wide open.
Sharing for anyone else who may be wondering--why? why me?
Sometimes our calling is greater than we know.
Sometimes our dreams are smaller than our wings.
And sometimes our purpose is unveiled through heartache.

There have been times over the last two years when I found myself angry and wondering why I have been given the burden of infertility to carry. Times when I look over at my husband, surrounded by our nephews and more authentically himself than anywhere else, and wonder why? Why us?
Infertility can feel like a dashing of dreams, like a thief that siphons off our joy like the gas from the last working fuel pump on earth. Infertility can feel like a walking death.
Yet what we must remember is that sometimes our calling in this life is greater than we can imagine. Sometimes the gifts we have been given to share are bigger than our dreams. And sometimes it is our devastation and heartbreak that will lead us to them.
I may never carry a child in my womb. . .

Is anyone here allergic to Sulfa that is currently taking Diamox? I have been diagnosed with IH now for almost 2 years. I am allergic to Sulfa drugs meaning that my throat will swell up so my Neurologist put me on Topamax. I was suffering from major loud whoosing noises and the topamax helped that but everyday I still hear those mainly between 6 - 12 pm. I am at my wits end and have not went...

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
