Quotes:
“I was really honestly happy to start going to an infertility clinic because I had been so frustrated at that point and I just felt like something was wrong with me. Why is everyone around me snapping their fingers and getting pregnant?”
“I started getting really anxious about going to things like weddings or dinners because sometimes I would be somewhere where I would see someone with their bump and I didn’t know they were pregnant. I just wanted to become a hermit.”
“I felt like I was consumed by infertility and yeah, I want to be honest because I think there are other people who don’t handle it graciously and I really didn’t.”
“Once I learned that really knowing this information can empower women so much, it’s more than just knowing how to eat healthy; it’s such a deep part of us, for women who yearn to be mothers, to have some sense of knowledge and control over your fertility. It is amazing.”
