Why I blog...

Jason and I have been trying to get pregnant for almost three year now. It wasn't until about nine months ago that I decided to start writing about. I honestly have not written anything since my freshman year of college, so I apologize for all of grammar mistakes. I am still not sure what made me start to blog but here is the reason why I continue to do so.

I feel like my blog is always sad! While Jason and I's situation is pretty sad I started blogging because I wanted to get the word out there about infertility issues. I think it is really easy for people to not think twice about it for many reasons. One being that it is such a personal issue. Unless someone very close to you is going through it you really don't know much about it. Another reason being that you cannot see physical damage happening to someone with fertility issues. Everything that happens to our bodies happens on the inside psychically. Not to mention that the whole process is emotional and draining on a couple.

Since I started blogging I have learned about more people that I know that are facing similar issues. It is nice to know that there are people out there that I can talk to that understand what we are going through.

I also hope that I can reach people that don't have fertility issues to help you better understand what your friends and family might be going through. Just remember that if you know someone going through fertility issues that it is very hard in so many ways. Just be there for them. Tell them you love and you will do anything they need.

Blogging has been a great outlet for me to think through and explain my feelings. While I do that I am also, hopefully, teaching people about something they didn't know about. It has also been a great way to keep people that love Jason and I informed about what is going on. It is really hard to repeat twenty times all the problems we have had. This blog lets people know and I don't have to explain it over and over again. There are so many things going on in our world that we are oblivious to. I hope that I am helping open this up to people in some way. It makes me feel better to think that all of this sadness and pain that we are going through is not for nothing. I hope in some way I have helped someone.
