Sharing infertility stories
One of the hardest aspects of managing infertility is the sense that you and your partner are the only ones battling to get pregnant. Telling your infertility stories might be just what you need. Tricycles on the lawn, ‘twins on board’ stickers in the back window of the minivan – it’s easy to figure out who has children! When a couple doesn’t have children, unless you know them well, you may never know whether it’s by choice or not. Previously (as in before the world wide web) you would only find support groups in which to relate your infertility stories in big cities. Moerover, infertility was perceived as socially unacceptable and even shameful. Because of the increased availability of the World Wide Web you can now experience both a cyber support group and a real life support group, and you’ll be able to find out just how common childlessness is.
