As I've mentioned before, support is a big part of infertility, as I've learned the hard way. I follow numerous people and organizations on twitter, a few blogs, and a few pages/groups on facebook. Recently I have started becoming more involved with The Indiana Collaboration for Families with Infertility (ICFI). I wanted to post some information about them because there may be people silently reading my journey who are going through similar things.
I was connected with them through a lady who is a mutual Thirty-One consultant (I sell this to help off-set fertility costs).
The Indiana Collaboration for Families with Infertility
On April 24th they are having a "fertility fair" from 3-9pm. You can go all day, or some of the day. Follow this link to register to attend ICFI Fertility Fair
I found out that I won the first door prize for this event which is a book titled "Dear God, Why Can't I Have a Baby?" by Janet Thompson. I am really looking forward to seeing what this book is all about. Additionally, if any of you are thinking of going to the fair, there will be vendors, Pete the Planner is speaking, and you will get swag bags (one of which the items contained will be some mini-catalogs from myself). I've also seen on their website that there is a Tri-athalon scheduled on their website that all my avid exercising friends can sign up for.
National Infertility Awareness Week is April 22-28 and you can learn more about it NIAW there are events taking place all over the country for this. Another good website for resources is http://www.resolve.org/ where you can find local support groups. I am thinking of doing this. One step at a time though, I told you all about my struggle. So now I have to build up my confidence enough to go into a group of people I don't know and talk about it.
