Somehow, I missed this, but South African blogger Tertia Albertyn (mentioned in my article, “Blogging Infertility“) has advice on how to stay sane while trying to conceive:
Know that IVF is nothing to be embarrassed about.
In fact my husband and I are actually damn proud that we did IVF. It shows our strength and determination to reach our goal. I mean, really, having sex to get pregnant–how last season! And don’t be embarrassed about how many IVFs you’ve done. Who cares?! Some people might think you are obsessive (so what?) or that you don’t know when to stop. Wrong. You might not know exactly when you will stop, but you know it is not with this IVF. You do as many as you want to do. If you only want to do one, that’s your choice.
