Stop The Blame Game
So many people are writing in that they tried so hard to do all the ‘right thing’ (religion wise) and they feel they’re not good enough because no matter how closer to God they are, he still hasn’t answered them.
Changed By Infertility
“Because so many things that we’ve tried have failed, I have lost confidence in the fact that one day I will be a mother. I worry constantly about what that might look like for someone and it scares me.”
I’m Tired
“I’m tired of being poked and prodded. I’m tired of sharing my medical history yet again. I’m tired of throwing money down the drain. I’m tired of not being able to breathe. I’m so tired.”
Infertility & the Workplace
“I waited around at my current role too long before looking elsewhere for a critical career move, hoping I would get pregnant and have some stability at work by staying.”
