TERTIA wrote a very good blog the other day. no surprise there.
the topic of this brilliant post was internet friendships. how sharing information regarding cervical length, mucous, infertility, etc has forged some powerful bonds amongst women who might not make intimate friends easily. i know i am in that category.
i have some amazing internet friends. the hen house is filled with women that grouped together. we had two things in common, warped senses of humour and the desire to spend $10,000 getting pregnant. (we are nothing if not philanthropic). some achieved their goals sooner than the others, some changed their dreams and found joy. but we remain hens.
i think i personally find internet friendships so rewarding because these cyber friends are a select, separate area of my life. a secret spice that the other components of my day are not privy to.
as well, my cyber friends only know my perspective. when i say someone has ticked me off, they loyally and wonderfully assume it was the other person’s fault. (which of course, is the case). who doesn’t love someone who knows lots of the issues and details in your life, will offer pithy comments and sage advise on the topics, YET isn’t physically involved in any of them? its like having a second jury at a trial, one that only looks at your attourney’s evidence.
cyber pals, thank you. for your tolerance, bluntness, patience, passion, humour, love and dreams.

we share one huge issue…infertility. even those of us who have children…we are still infertile, having children does not change or erase your IF challenges.
