This is not how I planned my life in that class you take in high school that makes you list where you will be in 10 or 20 years. Got married to young (20)... wasted my youth on a no-good cheater. Divorced. Met Mr. D in 1996 and we fell in love... (REAL love this time.) We married in 2001. I was already behind in my plan because while I did earn a BFA in Theatre Performance and became and actress and teacher... I was not (A) a movie star (B) a millionaire or (C)the perfect mother to 2.5 children... Mr. D and I recently built our first home and I teach acting, directing, and technical theatre in a high school. I love my hubby, my job, and the life we have made together. Two years ago Mr. D and I started the "it is time to have a baby" negotiations. I never thought that waiting until I was 30 would be a problem. After 2 m/c and tons of fertility tests...I am beginning to panic...

wow, thank you for linking this, I didn't want to write that post at all, it was hurting me in so many places. Thank you...thank you for making me see that sometimes those feelings are the ones that will help others understand.

I am not an infertile but I believe that insurance should cover IF and any other treatments that could help with infertility. I am shocked that there are people out there that would actually think like that. So, lets look at it this way, maybe my children should have died because I was not able to push them out. What if c-sections were not a "covered" benefit? I mean, maybe my body wasn't "fit" for childbearing. It is absolutely ludicris!!! I 110% agree with that post!!
My heart goes out to all of you wonderful ladies that are going through infertility. I can't imagine walking just one step in your shoes. ((((((((((((BIG HUGS)))))))))) go out to all of you!!!
I applaud that post!wholeheartedly!!
Ok, I am going to 'come out of the closet' as a non-infertile who has been reading your blog for a very long time. I am heartsick that some women can say or even think such cruel things. As cliche as it may sound my heart truly goes out to each and every one of you. I cannot even begin to or pretend to imagine the roller coaster of emotions you must deal w/month in and month out. I think that insurance SHOULD cover IF, definitely. On behalf of those who are fertile, like myself, I sincerely apologize. Please do not hold it against all of us. I know that I would die (probably literally) if I could not have a baby. You have my support and please know I am praying for you!
Loved it... Hope your week is going to be a really good one..
Hugs and take care.. I'm glad to be back on the internet rollercoaster!
Luv Ya, Lesley
