One of the topics that we discuss periodically on this blog is the importance of the infertility support group. You can learn more here about why specifically it is that the infertility support group is so important. However, the basic reason that this is critical is ovious - dealing with infertility issues is extremely difficult for people in terms of the emotional impact of the situation and the more support that there is during this time the better.
Two women who have dealt with infertility problems of their own have recognized the need for this type of group. There wasn't one anywhere in the area of Mississippi where they live. Instead of just giving up on the idea of finding a community to give them the emotional support that they need, these women decided to get active and to start their own infertility support group.
This is the type of thing that we often see happen in the infertility community. People who go through the difficult process of trying to conceive through in vitro fertilization and other types of infertility treatment understand the emotional ups and downs of the situation in a way that people who haven't gone through it can't understand. Luckily many of these people are motivated to share their experiences in order to support others as they go through it.
