Four Things I Have Learned About Infertility

-4 Things I Have Learned about Infertility-

1- HONOR YOUR FEELINGS: Infertility is so difficult. There are lots of tests, doctors, and decisions. Infertility can bring lots of emotions like: grief, jealousy, anxiety, anger, depression, fear, and overwhelm. Do not let yourself think you shouldn’t feel a certain way. It is ok to feel all of those hard, good, and sad emotions. Be aware of how you are feeling and what your mind and soul are telling you what you need. Feel them, be kind to yourself and move through them.

2- GET EMOTIONAL SUPPORT: A great way to help you work through all those big emotions is to find some emotional support. Find some good friends that you trust, that love you, and will help you honor and move through your feelings. Sometimes I have felt like I need a third party someone to talk to, but that could relate to me. I hope this Four Hearts Project will feel like a safe place to get emotional support. I am always hear to talk. Please DM, or email me any time! You are not alone!

3- BE YOUR OWN ADVOCATE: I truly believe knowledge is power! Study about infertility, research to find the best doctor and specialists for you, learn about treatment options, etc. No one cares more about your fertility than you. Get a second opinion. Speak up and use your voice. You are your best advocate.

4- and most of all…. IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT. YOU ARE ENOUGH. YOU ARE STRONG. YOU ARE BRAVE. PEACE WILL COME.
