Beautifully put N2L - I think the TTC journey leaves a legacy, some things good, some things not so good, and it's not something you can ever forgot even when you have a baby in your arms or in your belly.

I don't think I will ever not cringe when I hear someone announce how they 'got pregnant first time" or "my husband has super sperm" or "all my husband has to do is look at me and I get pregnant". Comments like this make me shake with rage and jealousy inside. I have watched a number of close friends (all IVF'ers) simply fall apart as their dreams are repeatedly crushed time and time again. It truly is the cruellest thing in the world to a woman who has a maternal urge/need/want to have a child.

However on the flip side, many of my Mummy friends are in fact IVF Mummy's and this journey has brought us together, and they are the most inspirational, supportive and amazing woman I know, and their friendships have made me a better person, totally privilidged to share their journey.

But I hear ya - it leaves a legacy .....
