Day 6:
Discuss how you found your way into the ALI community, and
what being part of it has meant to you – good and bad. (ALI =
adoption/loss/infertility, source here)
I found my way into the ALI community when I
was looking up information on PCOS. My husband was still in college online so I
had access to medical journals. I researched so much. I wasn’t sure if I had it
or not. My ovaries are picture perfect so I had to make sure I had it. One of
the websites I found was Soul Cysters.
It was a community of people like me. I thought, “I finally found people
who can understand me”. In some ways it
is really good to be in. I see people
having success losing weight, dealing with PCOS symptoms, and getting bfp’s. It
encourages me that having a baby is possible.
The community has taught me about other medicines, treatments, etc. The bad about being in the community is the
same as a good thing and that is people getting preggo, and I am still
childless.
Starting this blog is another
way to join a community. I read other peoples journey and people can read mine.
The encouragement I have received is inspiring. Lately I have joined a few Facebook
sites and made new twitter friends.

Today is pretty stressful for me. I tend over
eat before trips and that started yesterday—along with the guilt that I know
better and should do something else. Lots of last minute things to tie up before my
trip tomorrow. I am picking up some vitamin B complex to help with the depletion
that the Metformin causes. I have a CVS coupon for $3.00 off any vitamin purchase,
a $.50 ECB, and a $ 1 off any Nature Made vitamin. I should be getting the
vitamins pretty cheap. I am also have a $15/$15 or more coupon from Lane Bryant
I want to use. I am picking up some pita chips or popchips for the plane ride.
I am also taking turkey pepperoni and cheese. I will be having a banana for
breakfast.
