I never spent much time on the internet until I decided to venture into the fertility world. Before then I would check my emails, and that was about it. But, since I embarked on this journey, I have become completely addicted!!!
First I was Googling fertility clinics in South Africa, and if they would treat single ladies, and how much AI would cost. etc. Once that stage past, it was googling my diagnosis, such as: High prolactin levels, normal FSH, endometriosis, laparascopy etc.
Then it was googling about the AI procedure. How it is done, the do's and dont's, the success rates etc
Then it was the dreaded 2ww! Googling and over analyzing every twinge, ache, and pain, hoping that they were all signs of a BFP!!
But most importantly for me, it brought me to my online friends. First the friends I had made on the first forum that I was part of, and then OPM. So many members there are thanking me for creating the forum, but the truth is, I created it a little bit for selfish reasons - I needed support and friendship through this journey. To talk to people who have been in or are going through the same situation as I am. To share things with people who will not critize me or my decision. And just to talk to! I am so glad that so many ladies have found the support and friendship that they were looking for.
Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine I would have found all these amazing ladies on OPM. I have met some of them, and they are truly remarkable women! And I know that the ones I havent yet met are also like them! We all have this wonderful bond with each other!
At our first OPM get together I was so nervous meeting the ladies. But once we were all there, it felt like we had known each other for years and years!
And all this because I went to Google!!! Thank you google for taking me to where I am today!! And thank you ladies for making all of this possible!
