Male Point of View
For all of your husbands/partners/boyfriends out there who have gone through IVF, or heck, IUIs even, with you, here's a fantastic essay by a husband/partner/boyfriend about his perspective of a day in the life of their IVF cycle. I love how it makes me see it from their perspective. I think one day, I'll ask Tidy to write something here, to share his thoughts on this journey too. We need more of that, don't we? The partner's perspective (for those of you who have a partner in this)? We are so focused on how it affects us, but we don't always get to peak into the other side of this and see what it's like for them.

Tear streaked at 9am at work. Awesome:> You are right, though, so often we focus on the impact on women because while our burden is greater...it doesn't mean that the men aren't going through anything. I can't even imagine doing something so personal in a public place...but then again a couple of years ago I couldn't imagine showing my va-jay-jay to over 20 people I don't know. Happy Friday!
Wow, that was powerful. And so upsetting. I am glad you shared, thanks.
