When you’re struggling with infertility, it can be lonely — and feel like (most) people don’t understand what you’re going through.
There are things you wish people got, like just how heartbreaking it can be.
In case anyone was wondering, infertility sucks, and I'm still not good at Offering It Up. 7 years in, and still have Really Bad Days when the grief is just Too Much.
You might wish people understood that men can suffer through the struggle as much as their partner.
Maybe you wish people didn’t feel the need to cheerlead so much: “It’s going to happen for you! I know it!”
Or maybe you wish your friends understood that it can be difficult for you to see them pregnant.
Being happy for your infertile friends when they finally get pregnant but the overwhelming feeling of grief and jealousy is becoming very hard to hide.
