I'm finally going to start using this thing.... and a warning.,
So it occurred to me today, after sitting in my bathroom starting a the little white stick that I had just peed on scrutinizing whether or not that was an evap, a shadow, or the beginnings of a real second line,this i that I really needed a hobby. So after almost 4 years of having a LJ account I think I am finally going to start using this thing for what it was intended for... not just searching for fan fiction. Yes, I read fan fiction. I never claimed I wasn't a nerd. Heck I don't even know how to add a userpic (this is a cry for help).
I guess I should start with a bit of a warning. This journal is not for the faint-hearted or easily offended. I will be talking about infertility and what I am going through. I know it is difficult for the fertiles of the world to understand so I am not going to ask you to. What I am going to ask is that if I offend you in some unintenional way to please just block me, defriend me, or plain just don't read my journal. I don't mind constructive comments, but I do *not* want to hear "just relax", "it will happen", "why not adopt", "if you want you can have mine", or anything to that effect. If something I write leaves you feeling uneasy or you don't know what to say... just don't say anything. This journal is for me and for anyone else that needs to feel a little less alone in their journey. I understand some people may not agree with the choices I am making for my treatments. In vitro fertilization is a pretty hot topic, but it has become quite clear to my doctor and me that this is our only option. Infertility is a disease and just like any other disease you wouldn't just wait around to treat it.
This journal isn't going to be professional quality so there will be grammatical mistakes, misspellings, and if you haven't noticed yet I am the comma queen. If you don't like it... tough. It's hard to be brutally honest about how you are feeling when you are worried about every little nit picky grammitcal mistake.
