Like many newly married couples, we had a vision of what our future was going to hold. We had an idealized picture of summer barbeques, holidays surrounded by friends and family, and the sounds of children's laughter filling our home.
I remember sitting in the doctor's office as he discussed the options of IUI, IVF and a conglomeration of other abbreviations. With each word, I felt those dreams and plans being taken away from us. Compounding the issue of our diagnosis was the financial obstacle of living in a state without mandated insurance coverage for the disease. We were faced with concerns from family and friends, assertions from doctors and decisions and sacrifices to make.
Like many people in my position I turned to the internet for research and stumbled on to several groups of women feeling the same frustrations, anxieties and uncertainties as me. The foundation of these support groups is the need to provide empathy and first hand experience to others facing this disease.
