For the past four months I have gone to my support group and sat there, reading. No one showed up, and I went home. It was very awkward at times, sometimes discouraging, and sometimes I felt personal rejection. What am I doing wrong? Why doesn’t anyone want to come talk about infertility with me?
Well this week was different. This week, two women came. It was incredible. I can’t believe how quickly we bonded. It wasn’t awkward at all and we talked for an hour and fifteen minutes - having just met each other - and we could have stayed longer.
I’m not sure what other circumstances could bond women so quickly. Immediately we had a whole world in common.
It was beautiful.

That is so great Lulu! I would give anything to be able to go to your support group!
This makes me so happy! I'm thrilled that you met these women and were able to talk with them! Way to go for sticking it out!
Yes! I bet they come back, too. :)
That is so wonderful!!!!
That is so great! Is this a support group you started? If so, how did you do it? If not, how did you find it?
It sounds like an amazing thing to be a part of (when people show up!)
