Check out this article from yesterday's New York Times Magazine -- I can't imagine the pain of going through as many IVF cycles and miscarriages as this couple did. I appreciate her sharing her story with the world. I think we can all agree that there's a real need for education, and articles like this are great public service.
Update: please check out Mo and Will's blog for a much more thoughtful reaction to the article than I could muster. Kudos.

wow!! it definitely makes you think....wonder if I could do 11 IVFs?
Thanks for posting this - I read every word and forwarded it on to my mother and mother-in-law. I think it's a great story, and there is so much about it that's inspirational.
This was a God-send for me today.
Thank you. :)
Faith,
Thanks for linking to my post -
I thought it was such a great article. And no, I can't imagine the pain of that many IVF cycles.

Thanks for the NY Times link. It was an experience to go through the story of this lady, who chose to be a mother through surrogacy... and then you intro-ed me to a wonderful blog....Thanks again!
There's a lady in our IF support group who is pregnant for the first time from her 13th IVF. 11 with her own eggs and then she used donor eggs.
I also don't know that I could do that...but then again, I also said I'd never do IVF and here I am on my 2nd cycle. I guess the lines in the sand keep shifting according to our circumstances.
I can't imagine going through so many IVF cycles, I'm praying that our IUI cycles will be successful. This is such a great story - we must remember that God is in control of our lives and his timing is perfect, even when we don't understand.
