Did you know that there was such a thing as National Infertility Awareness Week? I didn't until just the other day so don't feel bad if you didn't either :). According to RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association, this year's theme is DON'T IGNORE INFERTILITY. You can visit the official website here. They are encouraging members of the infertility community to demonstrate that they won't ignore fertility through some small or large act this week. While they give some examples (don't ignore opportunities to talk about infertility, don't ignore infertility support available, don't ignore people struggling with infertility, etc.), my favorite is this: Don’t ignore your own strength. If you’re engaged in the fight against infertility, take a moment to recognize your courage and determination, as well as that of the sisters and brothers fighting alongside you. Amen! Don't forget that you are strong beyond belief and that there is an entire army fighting this battle right alongside of you.
MSN Health also had a good article about the struggle of infertility today: The Invisible Pain of Infertility. Check it out...although I thought the part about the latest fertility breakthrough was a little odd and took away from the point they were trying to make, I appreciated their thoughts on the benefits of opening up. And REDBOOK's "The Truth About Trying" Campaign is awesome! I've never posted a youtube video, but I might just have to post my first one to join the campaign :).
