Impact of Infertility

The hardest part of going through all of this is the emotional aspects. It is hard on both of us, but I am usually more visible with the difficulties I am having with all of it. There are some days when all I want to do is cry. We long so much for a baby of our own to share our love and lives with. Sometimes it helps for us to be around children, but there are also days when being around children really hurts. Especially new babies and any child that is the same age as our babies we lost would be. Please understand that it is nothing against you, it is just the emotional roller coaster that we are on with dealing with infertility.

Letter to Family and Friends

Dear Family and Friends,
We love you for all of the support and love you have shown for us. We are very grateful for all that you have done for us. Please understand that what we are going through is very difficult and hard for us. No one can really understand what we are going through, except those that are going through it themselves. We know that you are trying to be there for us and help us in any way that you can. We are very grateful for that.
Please understand that there is nothing against you when we don't feel like doing things with you or going to different family functions (birthday parties, baby showers, etc.). It is nothing against you, it just means that we are having a difficult time and it would be better for us to stay at home than to sit there crying inside.
The holidays are the hardest times for us, because there is so much done around children. Easter with the Easter Bunny coming and Easter egg hunts, the 4th and 24th of July with the fireworks, Halloween with trick-or-treating, Thanksgiving with family gatherings, and Christmas with Santa and all.
Sometimes we cope really well with the holidays, but this year is extra hard. I think a lot of it has to do with the loss of our two precious embryos and trying to get ready for IVF again. If you see us and we look down or we don't want to do anything, please understand that we are just having a difficult time, but we will get through it eventually.
We are thankful for all of you and love you. Thank you for all that you do for us. We love you!
Love,
Nellis and Debra Domenici
