Wow, that was so beautifully put, sorry to say that your pain is beautiful, but your words spoke right to the heart of me today. I hope tomorrow is a better day and the ‘oversmile’ gets to be put away.

That can be her story if you imagine it to be. Or you can silently name her a beloved infertile blogger still in the trenches, and make that your gift to those who we all wish we could give such an easy gift to.

I am smiling the Infertile Oversmile this week, as I returned to work after m/c #3. I have been feeling dishonest, denying my babies their fair grieving, like a faker who moves along while inside her heart is breaking.

I’m sorry to hear you feel this way, too. ♥

Oh my, my heart just ached as I read this post and everyone’s comments. I don’t know how you’ll make it through this, but good luck. My thoughts are with you.

Looks like this weekend will be one of many “letting go”s so to speak, for a lot of people. I will be thinking of you and hoping your oversmile softens and becomes a real smile. ((hugs)) Don’t forget to breathe and remember how many hearts and thoughts will be with you.

It’s funny isn’t it – how we all recognise that oversmile. And how easy it is to forget that some people do just get pregnant. I’m sorry that you are struggling with this, but we all know and understand.

I always forget, in fact when someone starts talking about being PG, I have been known to ask,,”how?” and then John looks at me and just shakes his head as if to say . “they just had sex honey, some people still do that” and I back peddle because I forgot.

HUGS, HUGS, HUGS

Hard stuff. Thanks goodness we have each other. Maybe you can imagine all of us stopping by the garage sale, giving you a knowing look and a little shoulder squeeze to help you hold it together.

My mother (who got pg easily with both her children easily before she was 25) doesn’t understand my deep internet friendships. She’s rather confused by the beautiful, heartfelt baby gifts I’ve received from women I’ve never met in person. But the gifts from my ALI friends mean the most. These are the people who REALLY understand what it took for me to become a mom. Who understand why I can’t get rid of that last sharps container in the back of my linen closet. My peeps!
