Infertility Study

A couple of weeks ago I linked up to a local blog that allowed people who are experiencing infertility to connect. It has been interesting reading through the different blogs and seeing how other people are coping. I have to admit it it feels good to know that I am not alone (not that I would ever wish this upon anyone). One thing I struggle with is that I know people aren't sure how to talk to me or what to say especially if they have never experienced it. It is kind of like a big elephant in the room with awkward silences. So when I read/talk to others going through the same thing they just get it.

Through that blog one of the statements at the end was about a woman doing a study and if anyone was interested to contact her. I decided to do just that. When I started my blog it was to document our journey and to give hope to other women like me. When reading about this I felt like I had to join. Tell my story and be a part of the study. If I can help just one other couple, that would make me ecstatic! I was talking to a friend about it and she said maybe that is the purpose of this certain season of my life right now, I have to agree.

There will be 10 people involved in the study. There are three sessions over the course of three weeks. Each session being an hour and a half long. I will be shocked at myself if I am able to talk that long each time. My first interview/session is on Friday. 

I am a little nervous but also excited. I have said this before but I feel like knowledge is power. The more I put myself out there and the more I read and research this topic the better chance I have of being successful. 

Wish me luck!
