I stumbled upon this page on the Today Show website the other day and I thought I'd share it with you. It has amazing personal stories from parents who have struggled with fertility and finally wound up with the babies they were hoping for (either by carrying them or adopting them). The stories of these families' struggles are amazing and inspiring. Some of them went through an awful lot before they received their bundles of joy.
As someone who went through fertility struggles myself, I think this page is a perfect one to pass along to any of your girlfriends struggling with fertility issues. It will give them inspiration & hope.

Joanna, these stories really are inspiring and I am struck by how people can keep such positive attitudes after struggle and disappointment. One couple said they tried for nearly 10 years before finally conceiving. Another woman shared her story of how when she conceived, her daughter only lived 67 days because of a chromosome defect. Not an ounce of loss or bitterness is reflected in her story. In fact she says about her daughter "She touched more lives in those few days than most people reach in a lifetime."
In addition to hope, those looking for more information on fertility may want to check out the following videos:
