My husband and I also went through IVF. Fortunately, we have two beautiful babies. But it is no picnic. People have no idea what you've gone through - even though you've told them. There's no way to fully grasp the notion of IVF or infertility unless you or someone close to you has been through it.

I have several good friends who've also gone through it. Some have been successful. Some have not. I know there are online support groups, but that seems so impersonal. I've always thought we should start a local support group. Because when you're going through it, it seems sooo overwhelming and downright frightening. And there are the hormones!! I gained 10 lbs during each cycle.

Anyway, if you're interested, I'd love to talk more about it.
