Over the weekend my friend and I went to the Choose Joy conference. It's basically a Christ centered conference regarding infertility and/or adoption. We had a really great time and left feeling very encouraged. It was pretty awkward showing up to a conference on infertility being five months pregnant (and unable to hide it well). But I purchased the tickets before I knew we were successful with IVF. And regardless I still really enjoyed myself and found some tools there to help other women through infertility.

I'm more motivated than ever to start an infertility support group at my church and feel like this conference will help me get started. Like I've said before, I don't want waste the trial I went through by leaving it behind. I want to help others and have no regrets about doing nothing with my experience. Here goes nothing!

I love that you're still reaching out to other women battling infertility even though you made it to the other side. <3
ReplyDeleteWow, what an amazing idea for a conference and resource for those struggling. And those decorations are amazing, so happy seeing women supporting women and infertility becoming less of something to struggle with alone and in the dark.
