Holy crap...started a blog!
I can't believe I actually did it, but I wanted to share with you all that I started a blog. I am really nervous about it! I feel like I'm standing naked in an auditorium full of people, but it is something that I have been thinking about doing for awhile now. I literally just told my mom about our failed cycle from this summer and that we started a new cycle and that this is our last attempt. She, and many others, have been very unsupportive in our eyes. It's weird, but everyone just acts like it doesn't exist. They don't ask us about it or how we're doing. Even when I begin to mention it and give her a window of opportunity to ask me, she says nothing. So, I basically shutdown and stopped sharing with her. I am hoping by giving friends and family (not yet, but soon because I'm not quite ready) my blog info it will open their eyes to how life changing infertility truly is. I am tired of suffering in silence. I will still be writing on DS though, because let's face it I love you guys and I may still need a place to vent about things that I may not want to put in the blog. You never know what events can turn up that need venting about! I hope you all follow along though. It's called Simply Inconceivable. I thought it was a nice play on words.

P.S. Fuhry is my last name, it's not meant to read that I'm unimaginably furious! Although sometimes IF gets me there! =)
Thank you so much for always being my number one support btw! xoxo

Awesome job! I love your honesty and bravery for sharing your journey. Since you are new to blogging you might not know the answer yet but how do we follow you? Usually there is an option to follow through Facebook or by email but I didn\'t see that any where. Also is the only way to comment by having a google account?
I have the same frustrations with people who know about our infertility but never talk about it, even if I am the one to being it up. I always feel like it is the giant elephant in the room that no one wants to acknowledge. It is sad that acquaintances that I share my story with ask more questions than our own family does.
Yay! Going there now! It takes guts to put it all out \"there\". Proud of you and looking forward to following along!
Awesome job on the blog! Looking forward to following your journey online.
As far as your comments regarding getting support from others, I hear you. I think most people don\'t know what to say so they just don\'t say anything. I have to say that before IF happened to me, I wouldn\'t have known what to say to someone going through it. Unless its happened to you, its hard to truly understand how devastating it all can be. Also for me, I don\'t talk about it openly because I become so emotional so I am sure others (who do know) don\'t want to bring it up and upset me. Its so complicated!!!
This is so awesome, Becky! I\'m sorry your mom and others in your life haven\'t been very supportive. I think people just don\'t realize how much we appreciate it when someone just asks how things are going or how we\'re handling it all. I\'m lucky to have sisters who have been through it so they get it, but I do have other people in my life who have no idea.
Just a tip so others can follow you by email: if you go to your blogger dashboard, click on the arrow to the left of the button where it says View Blog. A menu will appear; click on Layout. Once you\'re in layout, click on a spot (preferably to the right) where it says Add a Gadget. A bunch of options will pop up. Scroll down to Follow by Email. Then you can click the + button to add it to your blog. Make sure you click Save Arrangement (in orange towards the top). Now it will appear on your home screen, and people can put their email address in to follow it. They\'ll get emails when you write a new blog post. If you have any trouble with this, just let me know. Hope this helps. :)
You guys are amazing! Thank you so much for your feedback. Kristibell I will def look into those things because I have no idea! I really hope everyone doesn\'t have to create a google account to view and follow. That\'s annoying for people to have to do.
