I never thought it would be me....

Where to begin...its always best to begin at the beginning.  I never really thought I would be where I am...never thought my husband and I would be almost 11 years into our marriage and still "childfree"...never thought we would be 6 years into trying for a child...never thought we would be considering IVF... you just never think its going to be you.  I decided to start this blog to help me cope with all the emotional feelings...the roller coaster of emotions that happen each month, or for that matter each day.  I think I am fine, then I am not...dealing with infertility is something I was never prepared for, something no woman is ever prepared for. My hope is that through this blog, I am able to help myself and others who are dealing with the same emotions.  This strange silent sisterhood that I have entered into is lonely and isolating, I hope that I can help someone else who is suffering.  So this is our story...which I hope has a happy ending..but only time will tell...

    Hello 'ol friend! Girl, I'm in this sisterhood too! I appreciate you sharing your story. I have been writing a "book" myself, but haven't shared it! Writing really is therapeutic, isn't it? Even if no one else is reading it, it feels good for me to write about it. We had help to get Jack nearly 5 years ago now and are very fortunate to have him. We have been working for a few years since to give him a sibling, and it's a little tougher this time around. I have to have hope, because I have Jack! Keep at it! You'll get there, one way or another. I will keep you company on the way!

      This is Money Greene, by the way. In case you are wondering what random person named Kat Pat is writing you.

      Hi there! Thank you for your kind words! It has been therapeutic to write.. more so than I ever thought! I have been so surprised at the outpouring of support...I never knew there were so many like me...SO many...it is comforting. Thank you for keeping me company...it is such an isolating feeling, I was unsure about putting myself out there, but now, I am SO glad I did! :)
