I am a four years of trying baby : ) I have seen a chiropractor as well as an acupuncturist. I need to start seeing them both again- I really felt great then. Even if I don't ever get pregnant naturally, I do know the benefits. Thanks for reading. This blogging is new to me so I need to figure out how to show which blogs I follow.AnnaChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08764260444881951963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932843860705556916.post-13942856425225674192012-04-13T11:38:06.405-04:002012-04-13T11:38:06.405-04:00Another blogger started following Gary and I.

It talks about how to respond and interact with a couple facing infertility. <br /><br />http://www.ivf.com/lettermb.html#AnnaChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08764260444881951963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932843860705556916.post-71106010510261856062012-04-13T11:29:03.445-04:002012-04-13T11:29:03.445-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.AnnaChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08764260444881951963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932843860705556916.post-63609761559173272762012-04-13T09:11:43.811-04:002012-04-13T09:11:43.811-04:00A link to your blog popped up on my facebook page ...A link to your blog popped up on my facebook page (from a friend commenting on it, I think?) and, being a blogger myself and loving blogs, I decided to take a peek. All I can say is wow, so beautiful and inspiring. I have endometriosis, but was lucky enough to get pregnant and have our first baby in October. Whether it's through adoption or on your own, I can tell you that having a baby is worth it all. I wish you both all the best. As a chiropractor, I also have to ask if that is something you've tried. There are no guarantees (of course), but it has helped many women become pregnant. Just a thought :)Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00608258373591375814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932843860705556916.post-24339794110729568212012-04-12T11:59:42.053-04:002012-04-12T11:59:42.053-04:00Thank you Alana.

The courage that it takes to share intimate details of your relationship with others is very admirable. I know this will not only help others couples dealing with infertility but also serve as a lesson on faith. You two are a wonderful couple and God has you both in his hands. When we met in Jamaica it was clear that God was the foundation of your relationship and believe it or not that really served as an example for Dennis and I just starting out our marriage. God bless you both in all the decisions you make and thanks again for sharing.Alana Dunkleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16864743193479318985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932843860705556916.post-22379534067185713492012-04-11T21:04:15.410-04:002012-04-11T21:04:15.410-04:00Thank you Tim.Thank you Tim.AnnaChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08764260444881951963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932843860705556916.post-82739798580799739022012-04-11T21:03:24.960-04:002012-04-11T21:03:24.960-04:00You are a very strong woman Bonnie.

It is like any other problem a couple may face. I think for us, we came to a point where anything anyone said hurt because we were angry at being in the situation. But, Gary and I had to both come to a place where we were open to sharing with other people. It came to be too much of a burden to bear between the two of us. I came to this point a lot earlier than Gary and I shared with friends. Gary was a lot more hesitant to share. If you have friends who are going through infertility, it is a very private battle. You just really need to let them know you are there for them if they want to talk. When they feel comfortable, they will share with you if they trust you enough to open up to you. I have a very good situation because Gary and I are both Christians. When he was up, I was down and he held me. And, vise versa. If your friends are not Christians, this journey may be even more difficult.AnnaChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08764260444881951963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932843860705556916.post-35401534375858919322012-04-11T20:15:51.472-04:002012-04-11T20:15:51.472-04:00"That is when we finally came to the realizat..."That is when we finally came to the realization that even if we never had children, we had each other. That was already the best thing God had done in our lives- we loved each other so much and weren't willing to lose that." <br /><br />This i what we came to when we faced this issue.

Or do they really need someone to know and to talk to?" I'd love to hear your perspective on what you feel would or is most helpful. I have other friends who I suspect are going through this and I never know what to say.Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13030426773753619662noreply@blogger.com
