UPDATED:  Congrats to our to earring winners:  TheMaggers, and Ladybugsgrama, Layla, and ThePsychobabble
More winners to come

It seems to be all to common these days. So many woman decide to start their families with such hope and love and instead get a battle of epic proportions that leaves them devistated and depressed. That bad word, the one that on one thinks will happen to them – infertility.

I was one of those woman who decided to have a baby and figured within a month or two I’d be pregnant. After all, wasn’t that how it worked for all my friends? One month passed, two months, six months, 12 months. I was devastated. It took us a few years to finally get pregnant. And those years were a giant emotional roller coaster. We had finally given up on having our own child and decided to adopt when I found out I was pregnant.

Rachel Inbar has also faced this struggle and emerged a survivor. After years of infertility she is now the mother to six wonderful children. But she didn’t just leave it at that. She now runs a fertility support site for other families facing this same road.

Her Fertility Stories site offers a safe place where people can ask fertility questions, read inspiring stories of success, and get information on different treatments and options available. It’s a supportive and positive take on an emotionally charged topic.

Rachel also has a Fertility Stories Blog, where she talks about her own experiences and shares her latest findings.

But what does all this have to do with earrings?
