Thursday, July 26, 2012 Today in infertility historyToday is Mick’s birthday. Jagger, of course. “You can’t always get what you want,” he consoled me years ago, as I nursed my infertile soul after a trip to the mall with a friend and her 4 year old son, a story immortalized a decade ago on page 23 of Infertility Sucks! Keeping it all together when sperm and egg stubbornly remain apart. Mick, “singing, it seemed, directly to me.” What I didn’t know then but have subsequently read is that Mick kind of was singing directly to me. And, perhaps,
to you. It seems he wrote the song for Marianne Faithful, who had recently miscarried. Happy birthday. Hope you get what you need. |

Word
on the web: "Very funny, brutally honest, on the mark
and well written, Barna gave the world a gift when she wrote this book!" "I have found this book
to be very helpful in supporting and dealing with the emotions of my spouse as we go through our IVF journey. The book really
helped me understand the delicate emotions of someone experiencing infertility and how comments like "relax", "stop
worrying about it", etc. actually do more harm than help. As a result, I am much more supportive in this IVF cycles than
I have been in other cycles because I changed the focus of my comments and have avoided saying the wrong thing." "I would recommend this
book to anyone who is having difficulties getting pregnant, starting treatment, or have been through treatments to read this
book. It really helped me. My husband and I went through 1 1/2 years of treatment before taking a break to get back our lives.
When we decided to start back TTC after a year of nothing I bought this book and read it cover to cover in one day. It gave
me the emotional strength to start over again. We are still in the process but whenever I feel down on myself I just pick
the book up (which I keep next to my bed!) and read a few pages it helps me to focus and get my head back to being me and
not about the problems! It helped me laugh at the treatments, my husband, and myself again!" "A truly excellent book.
It is funny, sad, deep, and very touching." |
