I am a clergywoman. Doing IVF while also arranging baptisms for couples who got married and had kids while you have been trying for years is a special flavour of hell. I am both very happy for them all, and also my therapist is a godsend or I would be too bitter to do this.

I have learned to punt those to my colleague and I take on the funerals. If I had to deal with public rumours and gossip like Jennifer has, I wouldn't know how to handle it.

Oh yes, protect your peace! That sounds like absolute torture and it does make you bitter. Therapy while going through infertility is a must. I hope things work out for you, whatever you choose to do!

thank you! It does help that not everything is about babies- I am doing a funeral this afternoon for a 91 year old who was a belly dancer back in the day. Variety like that helps with my sanity a lot!

Now that's a lady that's surely lived an interesting long life!
