Infertility can be one of the loneliest things to endure. Your friends go on to have children leaving you behind. Sunday school classes for couples tend to discuss child training. Other women get together for play dates which do not include you. It is lonely! Most of us have to go outside of our friends, family and church to find support. I have found mine in a local support group, fellow bloggers and forums. Here are a few of my favorite places and if you have never checked them out you should!!
Stepping Stones This one is my favorite and where I am most active. It is a Christian forum and I have made a lot of good friends here, many that I have met in real life.
Hannah's Prayer: I like this one a lot though I rarely post there. You do have to be a member to see the forums and after 10 posts you get access to more forums and then again at 25 posts. (I think I have that right.
Baby Center: this is mainly a mom community but there are many forums for infertility, EA, donors, etc.
Where do you find your support? Are there any forums that you love? If so, please share them with us!
I spend a lot of time on Hannah's Prayer.
ReplyDeleteStepping Stones has been my greatest support, aside from my mother in law, who went thru secondary IF, and had 6 miscarriages after she had my husband. I also really appreciated the books, when the cradle is empty and where is God when it hurts
