My Three Year Battle with Secondary Infertility

My Three Year Battle with Secondary Infertility

It was December 2017 when my family plans were first turned upside down by a sudden and unexpected miscarriage. My son Ben was two and a half at the time, and settling into preschool well, so it felt like the perfect time to expand our family.

Why Does National Infertility Awareness Matter?

Why Does National Infertility Awareness Matter?

So, why does National Infertility Awareness Week (NIAW) even matter? If you’re part of the 1 in 8 couples affected by infertility like me and my husband, or 1 in 4 hurt by miscarriage and loss, then you understand why.

Don't Cry Alone

Don't Cry Alone

Because that’s what isolation really is - darkness. It’s keeping your struggle, your pain, your desires hidden so that you feel all alone. That’s why I wanted to share this post today – even from the midst of the struggle - because you are not alone. No matter how hurt you may be feeling or how much you would rather just hide or deal with it yourself. You are not alone. We weren’t meant to face trials in this life alone.
