Approximately 1 in 8 couples are affected by infertility. Some are open about their struggles while others keep quiet. Unless you’ve experienced infertility first hand, it can be hard to understand the effects it has on people’s emotions. While these statements may have good intentions, they can still be hurtful to couples during their time of grief.
Infertility causes a pain unlike any other. If you’ve ever been told that conceiving a child may never happen for you, then you know what I’m talking about. All of the years wondering: “What will my baby look like?” To find out you may never know. Coming to terms with knowing there may never be someone that’s half of you and half of your significant other is challenging. The high hopes every month followed by the continuous let down is exhausting. The years of testing and treatment options is a financial burden. Being open about infertility isn’t for attention and it’s not because we want your pity. If someone you know Is brave enough to share their story, it’s because they want to spread awareness. This is the reality some people are living with.
So, for those of you fighting a battle that most people will never understand, you’re not alone. Use #nationalinfertilityawarenessweek to share your story! .
