Infertility's Common Thread

I have been reading some blogs and came across one with this symbol on it. I then checked out the following link Infertility's Common Thread. I immediately decided I would have this symbol on my blog. I never try to hide what all I have been through to now have Isabelle here in my arms. She truly is our miracle. I read through blogs everyday and come in contact with women going through or have went through the pain of losing a pregnancy the heartache of negative pregnancy tests month after month and even the hard but exciting road of IVF. I always feel drawn to these blogs I have no idea who these women are but we share so much in common. I have talked to some through email and I definitely keep up with their blogs. It will never be a secret that my baby is a IVF baby, we sometimes call her our little popsicle because that is what the IVF nurse referred to her as the day we found out I was pregnant since she was a frozen embryo. Yes I wish I was able to have gotten pregnant the easy way (no treatments, no losses) and I wish I had never lost 2 babies to ectopic pregnancies and I wish I had not had a failed IVF cycle which resulted in losing 2 embryos. I also wish I did not have to struggle for 4 years to get pregnant but I did and now here I am with a healthy 6 month old who is my world. I don't want someone to read my blog and think oh she has a baby lucky her she got pregnant and now she is showing her baby off like crazy. If only it had been that easy. I will always be one of those now moms that understands what those women who are not pregnant yet and going through great measures is going through. I am truly blessed and for whatever reason I had to go through all that heartache for 4 years so I could have my little Izzie Grace today and I sit here today with all that behind me and I would not trade any of it, because through it all I became a stronger person, my marriage was strengthened beyond belief and now I feel I can be an understanding ear to others going through it now. If my story can give one couple out there HOPE then I know by telling my story I have done some good!
