Most of our communities have no idea who is trying to conceive, who’s infertile, or has been in the past.
Whether you know an infertile couple or not, please read this post to learn what to say and what not to say to a couple.
As someone working through infertility, I’m guessing you’re dreading Valentine’s Day. You’re tired of having to muster up your romantic side when the infertility’s stolen almost every ounce you had. You might like to get dressed up and go on a date but you’re praying it ends when you return home; anything to avoid “the bedroom…”
It’s a new year which means refreshed hope. It’s an opportunity for you to leave last year behind and focus on what is ahead.
So, my question for you today is, What do you want to be known for this year?
Do you have family members going through infertility? Are you nervous and unsure how the Christmas holidays will be?
Today’s post is for family and friends wondering how to help infertile couples in their lives enjoy this Christmas.
Do you feel guilty for being the one who can’t have kids? Then this post is for you today
Is it true that you can be thankful even in your time of suffering?
Are you two feeling stuck? The infertility has consumed your life. You don’t know where life is headed and it’s hard to focus on anything else. It’s time to set some goals.
Are you finding it harder to spend time with friends who have children? You try to find other topics to talk about, but the conversation always seems to lead back their kids. It gets overwhelming to listen to. How can I ask you to respect parents when you’re frustrated that they don’t seem to respect you and what you’re going through?
You’re chronically sick and the doctor won’t confirm or deny the affect it’ll have on bearing children. You’ve wanted children for a long time and you’re worried that your biological clock is running out of time. What should you do?
The wife is usually the one to get more compassion from others because she wears her emotions more openly. It’s harder for her to hide the sorrow she’s going through. It’s normal for women to seek comfort from close friends and family and to process with more people outside of the home.
It’s often the husband that deals with it silently.
