Our church hasn't really been a part of my infertility journey yet. I don't keep it a secret, it's just not something that I talk about much. Infertility isn't something that usually comes up in casual conversation. I'm kind of afraid to tell people because I don't know what their reactions will be. I am afraid that people will want to know why I can't be happy with the one child I have. I would like to find a group locally that deals with infertility and secondary infertility, but so far I have been unsuccessful. I feel lonely for someone my age who understands and has been where I am. I don't really have the choice to not go to church, which is going to be a problem when all the new babies arrive, nor do I really want to leave. I connect with God on Sundays and I really need the fellowship. I pray that God will grant me the strength to be genuinely happy for these new parents while protecting my hurting heart at the same time. Maybe I should be more transparent to my church family?
