Find Your Tribe
You are not alone- I promise.
I felt that I was at one point… Seriously, who do you process the decision to have a hysterectomy with when you are 30 years old? It is a hard concept to comprehend unless you have lived it. For me, it was a decision that came with guilt, frustration, helplessness, and loss of control. For others, infertility may be feelings of anger, resentment, isolation, anxiety, and panic around testing or ovulation. Hearing comments from friends and family like “Oh stop worrying, God will give you a baby when you’re ready”, “Eat more celery”, “Trust me, you don’t want one of these”, “Have you tried losing weight?” or my personal favorite, “Be thankful for what you already have” are not helpful. Not to mention the strain the process and decisions have on your relationship!
