It's been a while so I just wanted to give a quick update. Mike and I did attend that Resolve meeting and it was pretty good. The woman who ran the meeting had her own tales of infertility woe -- she now has several children as a result of several processes ranging from a successful IVF birth to international adoption.
The meeting was rather small -- one other couple and then two other married women (their husbands weren't there). We each went around the room and shared our stories, and the group leader shared some thoughts on a variety of topics, including how to deal with insensitive friends and family.
Overall, I'm glad we went. I didn't make any new friends, but then again it was just one night. I'm not sure if I'll go back again -- mainly due to the distance. It's almost an hour from home. In the meantime, I've been trading e-mails with the pastor's wife at our church, seeing if maybe there's a chance we could start a group of our own there. I know we can't be the only couple at church facing this struggle.
In the meantime, our big news is that my in-laws are taking the entire family on a cruise to Bermuda next month! We are so excited and can't wait to get away. This will be our first real vacation in two and a half years, and man, do we need it.
