Finding alternatives can be particularly difficult if you live in a rural or sparsely populated area. Depending on whether you're seeking quiet time or a party atmosphere, literally getting away from where you deal daily with infertility can be thoroughly refreshing. Again, you may open the eyes of some family and friends when you choose to do things differently. If you have not disclosed your fertility issues, tell them you've decided it's good for your relationship and that you'll spend special time with family later. If you find yourself unable to pull any happiness up from within yourself, then wait no longer to talk to someone.
Resources are plentiful, online or off.
Some are even free of charge. It might help to hear that, theoretically, most people visiting this site will probably be successful with their attempts to have children. If your family-building struggles end with the addition of children to your home through one manner or another, then you'll look back and relish those days and nights when you took precious time and spent it with each other or by yourself, doing things that cannot be done with a little one.
