I have a disease...

So I am relieved that the other insurance company has accepted liability for the damage to Todd's car.  PHEW!!  So it's at the body shop and Todd gets a rental for a while.  He's going back to visit family and friends in a week and a half so I'll be handling most of this here.

I also wanted to share my full story here.  I was lucky enough to find the website for Faces Of Loss, Faces of Hope and it inspired me to write down my story and share it with others.  I am proud of who I am, and I am not ashamed with my infertility or my miscarriage.

There are so many people out there that know someone who has struggled with conceiving or with pregnancy loss, but you don't hear about it until it happens to you.  Then all of a sudden everyone knows someone, or people even admit they suffered a loss themselves.

I wear my struggle on my sleeve, well maybe not my sleeve, but in various ways.  I'm not ashamed to admit that I lost my sons and that I struggle with infertility.  The more people are aware of the problem, hopefully the more "the man" will help us with it.

I pay out of pocket for all of my infertility treatments.  We have spent thousands on the dream of a family.  We thought we had success but it didn't work out.  Health insurance usually doesn't cover this type of coverage, as insurance companies don't see infertility as a disease.  Well it is.

I have a disease.  I suffer from infertility.

Insurance companies will help a guy get an erection, but won't help a woman start a family.  Does that sound fair to you?
