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.
There was a discussion somewhere about the pregnancy group in this site. I wrote to Doug and told him there should be two pregnancy groups, one for unwanted pregnancy, and one for wanted pregnancy. This was the conversation:

You may already know this, but there are several women who belong to the infertility site who become pregnant, try out the pregnancy site, and never want to go back. Is it possible to create two pregnancy categories? Maybe "teen pregnancy" and "adult pregnancy," or even better, "wanted pregnancy" and "unwanted pregnancy." Thank you for Daily Strength. It is wonderful!

Hmm... I will add it to our list of suggested communities. Why is the current community not sufficent? Thanks!

From what I have heard, there is a large quantity of teens in the pregnancy group who spend a lot of time complaining about being pregnant. This is difficult to hear for someone who cherishes pregnancy. Being able to connect with people who are going through the same thing is invaluable. It is what makes these groups so great. I can think of nothing more diverse than a community of women who are with child and happy about it,who want to talk about the joys along with the pains--and a group of girls complaining about the life inside them, too young to understand the beauty of it, and unfortunately, too young to give the child the care he/she deserves. I think those who have an unwanted pregnancy have very different issues than those who are pregnant and want to be, other than strictly medical issues. Thank you for listening to our concerns.

Thanks for the heads up! We'll definitely consider the issue. Thanks!
I thought some of you might want to add to what I have said, so I thought I'd tell you about it.

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...
I have to say I highly doubt many girls will join a board called "unwanted pregnancy". Even if they feel that way, most people will not admit it and join that board.
I think that people should go to whatever board they want and be considerate of everyone else. The fact that GracieNoah said someone at the PG board said certain women are not meant to be PG makes me want to b**ch slap that chick.
What a cruel thing to say! Try dreaming about being a mom your whole life and watching that dream seemingly die a slow death and then come freaking talk to me.
