That's nicely said.
It's hard to gain perspective when you are faced with infertility and the fear of never becomming a mother. It's hard not to become engulfed by it when you are seeing a doctor several times a month to do blood tests, u/s, temping, bding on time, etc., etc.
There are a lot of things I wish I had done in the time I was ttc, but was so focussed on having a child, that it became my only focus in life. I can see that now that my ttc years are behind me, but I don't know that a post like your's would have made a difference to me back then. Social pressures, family pressures - they are hard things to escape. I know whenever I received news of a friend or family member becomming pregnant, it wasn't jealousy, but dreading that friends/family would bring up the topic again and ask when it was our turn. It just made the hurt and fear so fresh again.
I agree with everything you said though, and I like to think I would have taken something from it if I had read it while ttc.
