Infertility Awareness Week

Today is the start of Infertility Awareness Week, a week set aside to bring awareness to the infertility struggle.  Obviously, those who are close to me (and read this blog 🙂 ) are already aware of our struggle with infertility.  I started out this journey afraid to talk about what we were going through, but …

THINGS I NEVER THOUGHT WERE RUDE UNTIL WE STARTED TRYING
