The side effect from IVF that no one talks about

That side effect is the demise of your sex life. Apparently my blog is just going to become me re-posting articles that Resolve posts on facebook. Some might see it as lazy, I see it as me helping others out by spreading info that might help. Does it matter? As a woman who definitely has experience with the article's subject, yet never talks about it (except to my therapist and occasionally my husband), I found this article was helpful. I think it's always good to get info that makes you feel a little less alone when you are going through/have gone through IF and IVF. I will add to this that there is a great section on Resolve's website that has information titled 'You and Your Partner' that I have referenced several times throughout the process. Again, I found the information to be quite helpful. You can find that info here.

  1. Thanks for sharing the article with us. How are you doing with the pregnancy? Haven't heard much from you lately. Hope everything is progressing and you are happy and healthy. I hope the two little gummy bears are growing nice and big :)

    1. Thanks Toni. We're doing great. It's weird to blog about being pregnant when you're infertile and I've been having a hard time finding things to write about. I keep starting posts and not posting them, but I did just put up a post that has been in the works for a few days now.
