Infertility
When it's Hard to Get Pregnant
Month after month you dutifully pee on a stick, hold your breath, and then ……..
nothing
In the meantime, it seems that everyone around you is showing off their growing baby bumps and posting cute pregnancy announcements.
You are tired of hearing everyone’s advice.
You think you’ll explode if you hear…
- Just Relax
- My Aunt's neighbor swears by this fertility supplement
…one more time.
It's Exhausting
Maybe you’ve tried rounds of IUI or IVF with only sore injection sites, and a new vocabulary of acronyms to show for it. (So tired of TTC, 2WW, POAS, and BFN!).
Or perhaps you are contemplating the use of donor eggs or sperm, surrogacy or adoption.
Even sex has become a chore with scheduling timed intercourse (or avoiding it altogether) around procedures. You can’t talk to your friends or family about this—you just feel so broken and isolated.
You have worked so hard to do everything right and don’t understand why your body can’t do this one thing.
