I know I should let IF define me, but it's now apart of me & how I came to be a mother.Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06324703617330026036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081761016321383406.post-41860994516043885192013-03-24T15:39:06.105-04:002013-03-24T15:39:06.105-04:00Returning your visit.

Even if the war's over and you've moved on and are generally happy, the scars will always be there.

I'm excited to follow your story and get the perspective of someone else who has dealt with secondary infertility. <br /><br />I agree that "once an infertile, always an infertile." I was kind of hoping that after I had my IVF twins, I'd stop feeling like an infertile. Dealing with secondary infertility obviously made that a bit impossible, but then I realized that my infertility isn't necessarily something I need to hide from. It's part of who I am, and as you said, it's brought me to where I am today. <br /><br />Looking forward to getting to know you better :)Mrs. Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14442574272607877031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081761016321383406.post-14083858013318114112013-03-22T12:32:30.835-04:002013-03-22T12:32:30.835-04:00Hi, and thanks for stopping by!

I'll look forward to hearing more. <br /><br />In the single month that I've been around this blog world, reading others' stories has been a lifeline. Even though the details vary, the feelings and thoughts are familiar. <br /><br />These are such big struggles: how to balance working toward a goal with finding some enjoyment in the present, how to go on without clinging to false hope...<br /><br />Once we've been through these things, they can't help but leave us with some scars (and, if we're lucky, with some tools) -- no matter the outcome.Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11562773887208347158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081761016321383406.post-29587075806224463342013-03-22T10:57:43.027-04:002013-03-22T10:57:43.027-04:00Hi from ICLW...I completely agree that we will nev...Hi from ICLW...I completely agree that we will never forget about our infertility.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081761016321383406.post-56627925494846923872013-03-22T09:56:22.312-04:002013-03-22T09:56:22.312-04:00Congrats on finally achieving your goals of mother...Congrats on finally achieving your goals of motherhood.

There is no comparison between one woman's pain and another because it's so intricately defined by what they've been through. There's no small loss.
