Infertility Awareness Night

Pound the Pavement for Parenthood is hosting a wonderful evening focused on informing and inspiring the community on infertility. It's being co-sponsored by the Utah Fertility Center, the Reproductive Care Center, LDS Family Services, and the UVU Community Health Club. All wonderful organizations wanting to help and educate others. Doctors from both centers will be speaking about infertility and different treatments, and LDSFC will be sharing information about adoption and the experiences people have had with that. AND on top of that a couple that just recently did IVF are going to be sharing their story and talk about the real life experience they've had. I'm excited! And I'm nervous....I'm nervous about people not coming. A lot of people are probably annoyed or confused as to why I've been posting, writing, and emailing about infertility so much. I'm doing it because it's a part of me. It's our reality and sadly its the reality for a lot of people out there. The even bigger downer of that is we don't know who all those people are. Infertility is such a weird thing. It's sometime humiliating so sharing it with others isn't always on the top of the public service announcement list, if you get what I mean.
So I'm pushing for people to come to this because its important for us all to be informed but it will also give hope to those that haven't reached out to anyone yet. So please come. Please be there with us. Please ask questions. If anything come hear the stories of others and share yours with them.
