On this, the 5th show of The Reproductive Challenged Woman, I reveal my slight obsession with affirmations and resolutions for the New Year. I also share with you some tidbits of information that all have to do with the beginning steps of three different forms of action (in pursuing motherhood).

The first tidbit I share has to do with my very beginning...my attempt to conceive on my own. I discovered early on that when dealing with fertility issues and dealing with doctors, you should not put all of your trust and faith into only one doctor, especially if that doctor is suggesting something you are uncomfortable with. It was my rude awakening as I faced my very first step of my fertility treatment ordeal.

The second tidbit I share has to do with one of the first steps in the surrogacy road...the legal aspect.

And the third tidbit has to do with the beginning phases of the adoption process.

When you decide to pursue any path of assistance with infertility, there always seems to be a surprising timeframe that becomes very frustrating. Everything takes more time than you would imagine it should. So it's always good to get a jump...gathering information on all fronts that you would consider. That way you can be informed, and possibly head down more than one path at a time.

Also, there's a brief mention of some upcoming guests I will be having on the show in this new year!

I hope you are all in the midst of a glorious holiday season, and I hope to have you as a regular listener of The Reproductive Challenged Woman throughout 2007!

This can be your year!...the year you finally become a mommy! Look ahead with great excitement and expectations! And let's forge ahead together!

Happy New Year! May it bring peace and joy to your heart, and may all your dreams come true!
