Beyond Childlessness -  http://www.beyondchildlessness.com/ - Rachel Black and Louise Scull

I read this book last year and it did help in letting me realise I'm not alone and at least I've not had to deal with all the issues of infertility, but it missed out a lot of my experience so I still felt a bit isolated.

Gateway Women - http://gateway-women.com/  - Jody Day

This is one of the first blogs that sounded like it did fit. I don't agree with all of it, but some bits I could have written myself.  And the fact that through it I have found other sites etc has been great.

This is one of the ones I found through Jody's site.  Reading teh comments that come after these articles is quite fascinating and illsutrate how complex this whole thing is and how unique everyone's own experience is, and everyone's reaction too - it's hardly surprising we all keep it quiet lest we get reactions like this!!
