Infertility Sucks, You Don’t Have To…

On July 8, 2013, I received laparoscopic surgery to discover stage IV endometriosis, polycystic ovaries, and a benign tumor inside my uterus that would require a D & C procedure, adhesion extraction, and leave me with 4 surgical scars as well as symptoms related to infertility. That day changed my life, who I was, my future, and everything about me that I had ever thought or believed to be true. I would become suicidal, scared, enraged, fearful, depressed, and hate no one more than myself. It was hard, lonely, and totally confusing, but I would not only survive, I would thrive, and so can you. For a period of time, infertility destroyed me. The struggle of trying to get pregnant destroyed me. My mind and the blame I felt destroyed me. I let it take over everything that I was until I realized what it had done to me and my life. I don’t know if I will ever have a baby. I don’t know if I will find answers to infertility. I don’t know who I will be on the other side of this, but all I need to know is that I am committed to being there, because I am brave, I am love, I am strong, and while infertility caused me to believe otherwise, my hope is that you understand that you are too! Infertility Sucks, You Don't!
