Hope Award for Best Blog*

Be part of the Night of Hope! Your vote will help determine this year’s Hope Award for Best Blog.  The “written” word provides powerful support for those dealing with infertility. Blogs give advice, helpful tips and tricks, sometimes humor, and most of all hope that resolution is achievable.

MissConception

Excerpt from Don't Ignore... Post:

Infertility is one of those things that seems to isolate and remove you from the life you had before. I've struggled with this for almost 3 years now. Trying to connect to those you love and be a part of the world around you can seem impossible at times. Not being able to conceive a baby or carry to term can be a lonely place to be and many couples find themselves drifting away from the people they care for.

My Path to Mommyhood

Excerpt from Don't Ignore... Post:

I used to be a support group junkie. Going to support groups used to make me feel better, less alone. It was awesome to meet other women who were also going through this evil process and could offer suggestions on how to deal with anything from medications to nosy people to well-meaning but not-so-helpful suggestions from others. I enjoyed helping people by sharing the information and resource that I had collected in my arsenal against infertility. I met amazing women through support groups and developed relationships outside that circle of sharing. I think that support is a wonderful thing.

Ready to Be a Mom

Excerpt from Don't Ignore... Post:

There is so much educating and activism happening during National Infertility Awareness Week aimed at making sure the voices of the infertility community are heard by those who have not experienced our struggles and that our concerns are not ignored. While this is a very important part of NIAW, it is also a good time for us to take time to reflect on the infertility community as a whole and be sure we are not ignoring any part of it.



Tippy & Tidy's Tumultuous Trip to Toddlers

Excerpt from Don't Ignore... Post:

A peaceful town was in the news a few weeks ago because a doctor wanted to build a fertility clinic in a vacant space. This space is close to a church, an elementary school and a small college. Protesters came to the city board in hopes of stopping this "immoral place" from being built. One of the organizers of the protest commented that a child born through IVF "becomes a manufactured commodity" and is "reduced to an object, a product."

Whitney & Erick

Excerpt from Don't Ignore... Post:

Don’t ignore the opportunity to share your infertility story with others. The science behind infertility is making huge strides, but infertility awareness is lagging behind. YOU have the chance to change that, one person at a time.
