letter to a friend doing IVF

This process of baby making via IVF isn’t glamorous or something one dreams about doing while falling in love and planning lives and family’s. As life has dished out crap and the only thing you can physically control is your breathing. As you’ve accepted this path and have tried to make lemonade out of lemons or whatever… after the long periods of devastation and painstakingly crying out, “why me?”  I can only conclude that through all the confusion and frustration and heartache that you are coming out the other side with more compassion.  All this hard work proves exactly what you are made of.  You’re a survivor!  No matter how this turns out, I know you will move forward.  I will be here.  When you need me.  Ready to celebrate a little addition or to simply cry with you when you need it.  I love you.  I am sending lots of love and positive baby making wishes your way.  Now get the hell off infertility island and when you do - send me a rope.

Praying for the best possible outcome.
Sincerely yours
