It's hugely reassuring to hear you say that infertility eventually does come to a point where it doesn't have the day-to-day power to cause pain and wound. Not there yet, but I'm keeping this one bookmarked because it's a wonderful reminder that this day will come.

I feel like for me, that horrible day-to-day reality of the treatments and feelings associated with fresh bad news and physical pain is over, and I'm tremendously grateful, but I can't truly say it's over until my body stops betraying me and reminding me that my lady parts are completely deficient. Like Loribeth, my infertility comes with a diagnosis, physical things that will remind me for the rest of my life that I am different from reproductively typical women, and prone to other health conditions to boot. I feel like maybe when it's over I will be able to not be quite so bitter about it, but maybe that's me being Pollyanna. Maybe being bitter but not constantly devastated is being over. :)Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868505568965284742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725106142359702200.post-63266280384538426222015-08-11T14:36:23.110+12:002015-08-11T14:36:23.110+12:00This is such an interesting point.

But once you add in the factor of time, it can be -- over time -- both devastating and resolvable, neither one, one or the other in flux, and eventually resolving.Lori Lavender Luzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15394441222262940632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725106142359702200.post-81740418689663287022015-08-11T11:33:31.454+12:002015-08-11T11:33:31.454+12:00I think maybe we're both saying the same - tha...I think maybe we're both saying the same - that we've made our peace with it. <br />Though you've got me thinking about the intricacies of this.Malihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928262526502319303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725106142359702200.post-79832329272352430462015-08-11T08:21:00.298+12:002015-08-11T08:21:00.298+12:00How I love this sentence, "The infertility is...How I love this sentence, "The infertility is over."

It's a part of me and who I am, and always will be. It may not be life-threatening (as some like to point out) but it is not life-enhancing. But I'll agree that it doesn't have the power over me that it once did. I still have bad days now & then when I curse infertility for what it did (& did not do) to me & my life -- but for the most part, I have made my peace with it. loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.com
