I'm always curious what everyone else is there for. Where are they in their treatment - IUI, IVF, there for the very first consult? <br /><br />And I love your running comparison. Being in a "mile 14" place myself right now - both in terms of my running and infertility - this post is wonderful. It is exactly the encouragement you talk about so vividly.

I can relate on both levels - I wonder the same thing in the waiting rooms, and I ran a 1/2 marathon where people of all shapes and sizes cheered me along to the finish line and I did the same.

I wrote two posts with a ...Thanks for the comment!<br /><br />I wrote two posts with a different running/IF metaphor years ago:<br /><br />http://babysmiling.wordpress.com/2008/07/25/its-not-a-race/<br />http://babysmiling.wordpress.com/2008/08/14/the-race-is-on/<br /><br />And on another note, I used to attend an IF support group through my acupuncturist's office, and we often served as each other's woman with a limp -- until members would get pregnant and disappear forever (which happened to most members after 1-3 group meetings). I did run into one of the remaining longtime members in the RE's waiting room once, but unlike the interactions you imagine it was super awkward, because that was the day of my first U/S showing that I was carrying twins, whereas she was there for a miscarriage follow-up and heard the doctors discussing me in the hallway.<br /><br />But, I will say that the support group was really good for satisfying the curiosity about other people's stories -- more detail than you ever wanted to know. Once I was in the group I stopped wondering about the people in the RE's waiting room.<br /><br />Hope that you're able to be done with that waiting room very soon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259092908731735507.post-72107627284501380522013-02-16T18:00:17.768-08:002013-02-16T18:00:17.768-08:00I'll have to look for the post!
