Pregnancy & Parenting's
Infertility Support Message Board
Conventional wisdom has it that if, after a year of unprotected sex, a couple hasn't produced a pregnancy, they're officially "infertile." That's an okay rule of thumb, if you've got a year to wait (many of us don't) and can tolerate 12 months worth of anxiety and disappointment gracefully (most of us can't). When you begin to feel the twinge of that common doubt -- "Are we experiencing infertility?" -- that's when it's time to tackle the issue head on.
Dealing with infertility is never easy, but it helps to know that you're not alone. Getting support and a shoulder to lean on from other women who have 'been there, done that' can help you on your journey -- especially on those days when you just want off this roller coaster ride.
If you've never participated in message board before, you'll be surprised by how easy it is to get answers to your questions from experienced moms. You don't need to be an iVillage member to read messages, but if you want to post, just click on the "join now" link at the very top right hand corner of the message board page. Membership is free and it just takes a few minutes to sign up.
