Empty arms - website about the experience of infertility

This link{http://www.vocalicious.com/empty_arms/empty_arms_mod.html\link} was posted on an adoption message board that I use as a good explaination for friends and family of what it feels like to be infertile. I found it very moving and although not exactly the same as my experience a lot of it was pretty close. Especially the name, I did have years of feeling that there was something missing from my arms, in the same way as my shoulder feels unusually light if I go out without my handbag.

I think that link doesn't work because of the underscores being interpreted as an underline command. Basically the first emptyarms should be emptyarms, and armsmod should be armsmod. I'm afraid you'll have to do it long hand.

I only did the first bit of the link, it's so true thou isn't it, we just had the palimery infertility tests but thankfully i've got PG on my own after a month off TTC, but my poor friend looks like she may have PCOS, and that's exactly how she feels.

You put your first "link" before your "", bran, which is why it turned your _ into an underline, it didn't realise it was a link

Ahhh, thanks, you wouldn't guess that I've been doing successful links for months, would you?
