I’m so pleased to announce that I’m going to be blogging once a month over at FertilityAuthority.com. I was so honored and excited to become a part of the Fertility Authority family, and I’d love it if you’d check out my posts there. My first one was published earlier this week.
“… One of the ways I’ve learned to cope with [infertility] is by focusing on the silver linings that have resulted from it. These are the things prevent my sadness from turning into despair and my anger from turning into bitterness…” {Head on over to FertilityAuthority to read the rest.}

Thanks, girl!
Congratulations what a great accomplishment and you so deserve it hunny. Thank you ever so much for linking up to Share With Me #sharewithme
Great job on the entry and starting to blog for Fertility Authority. I can’t wait to read all of your entries moving forward on there. Yay!
As I commented on their blog, my silver linings are my strengthened marriage, my new friends (like you), and most importantly, my strengthened faith. Thank you, God, for allowing us to see the blessings in such a dark time in life.
*Hugs* to you, friend!
Great post! Praying with you as you walk this journey toward conceiving. Visiting you from The Weekend Brew.
I tried to comment on the post itself, but the verification thing didn’t work for me. Anyway, this is a great post. I wrote a bit about this late last year. One of the “good” things to come out of this awful journey was the realization of how privileged I truly am. It is amazing to grow up thinking that you can do anything you put your mind to it, that all the doors are open to you. Infertility has knocked that out of me to some extent, but I have had my eyes opened to the fact that I have been blessed in so many ways. I’ve never failed at anything before, although I now kind of wish that I could have failed at computer class instead of human reproduction, haha.
(This is my post on the subject. It’s a bit long: http://mrsdoctordear.blogspot.ca/2014/09/how-infertilty-has-changed-me.html)
I totally relate, Maggie. I, too, have always been able to do pretty much anything I set out to do. That’s one reason why infertility is so frustrating! And yes, I wish I’d failed at math or something instead of reproduction, too! HA
Beautiful, as always! The silver lining is there if you can take a step back, reevaluate what’s important, and trust that God has a plan for your life. It’s not always easy, but being blessed is better than getting bitter! 🙂
Thanks, Sarah Ann! You’re right- bitterness doesn’t do any good.
