You Don’t Have To Be Thankful

It’s that time of the year again when the whole country is talking about what they are grateful for.

They want you to take a turn as they go around the table and tell them all about the things you appreciate in life as they talk about their own kids and large families.

What are YOU thankful for?

Hmmm. Didn’t you have to do this last year….when you were doing your last transfer cycle? The one that didn’t work…. Or was it two years ago? When you had your first-ever miscarriage not long before Thanksgiving? What exactly would they like you to be thankful for?

Yes, there can be a lot to be thankful for… even when you are in the infertility and loss world. But especially with everything going on in the world, it can be particularly difficult to stop and take the time to count our blessings on demand.

We just want to remind you that it's okay if you are not thankful for anything this year. It's ok to to meet yourself where you are and not force anything.

This year, DO YOU.
