As we kick off National Infertility Awareness Week I will always be proud to stand tall and share my story with others. I am 1 in 8 and I have a story like you. I might not be in the trenches like most are today struggling with the day to day of treatments but I've been there and know that it's hard. I was that girl sitting in the silent, lonely waiting room wondering what your story was. It is a journey like no other and nobody can truly understand unless they've been there. Somehow we find some sort of comfort from others when we share our stories whether you've been down that road or you are currently traveling it. Fear is always present when that moment we decide to open up to someone. Relief sets in when someone shares that they are struggling with the same thing or struggled to conceive. Confidence takes over when you are not judged when sharing your story and you feel more compelled to open up next time.
From trying naturally to IUI, IVF and a late pregnancy loss to the birth of a child it's been over 15 years since my journey began. I am truly grateful to have a 9 year old to celebrate motherhood and my journey. Not everyone has an outcome like I did, all outcomes are different but we can all relate and support each other along the way.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE, talk to someone, share your story and have them LISTEN!! It's hard to find someone to listen. Most times they just want to offer advice, or share crazy comments or try to fix you, take that as it comes and move forward.
During #NIAW (April 23-April 29th) share your story, listen to others and take a stand to be part of something more than infertility, take a stand for you!!! For more information about Resolve's NIAW visit their website.
