EP 019: Tough topics with good friends: Part 1 - What the infertility???
Apr 23, 2021 Season 1 Episode 19

This topic in our series of tough topics with good friends is one that’s sensitive and we want to share our stories to bring more normalcy to the conversation. We are talking about infertility and miscarriages.

When the question “Oh when are you getting married” suddenly becomes “when are you having kids?” There's never a great way to answer. We both knew we wanted to have kids but have ended up in different places, and now that we are past of life, we wanted to share our journeys in order to tell a different version of fertility and pregnancy than what is normally told - the grin and bear it response when someone asks how things are going.

This is a sensitive and difficult process for many more people that usually goes undiscussed. As a way to support to those going through their own ups and downs, we are opening up about the difficulties, misinformation, and emotions we went through. And then finally offer some support tools and advice that we’d impart to those who want to be a good friend to someone who has or is going through this. Just need as a disclaimer these are our experiences and we are sharing our personal thoughts and opinions on this topic

Laura shares her story about infertility:

  • Undiagnosed Infertility
  • The challenges of what you expected vs. the reality of your situation
  • How she decided to stop trying
  • Who and how people were there to help
  • Dealing with the  anxiety and depression that goes along with this experience
  • How to have a different perspective on moving forward
