Practical Tips
Here you will find posts about practical tips for yourself (to keep your sanity), but also posts you can pass on to “well meaning friends” (like why to NEVER say to “just relax!”).
Far More Children
“Sing, barren woman, who has never had a baby. Fill the air with song, you who’ve never experienced childbirth! You’re ending up with far more children than all those childbearing women.” From Isaiah 54, The Message – If you had seen me at the National Zoo a couple of weeks ago, you might have thought…
Your Infertility Diagnosis Can Fuel Your Prayers
This post may contain affiliate links. I called my husband with tears in my eyes after hanging up the phone call with the nurse. She had just informed me that my latest bloodwork indicated that my ovarian reserve was declining. Unfortunately, science is indicating that my eggs are starting to decline. My husband reassured me,…
A Letter To My Mama Friends (From One Struggling With Infertility)
Hey there Mama, I know that you’re likely very tired right now, and sometimes you may feel like you’re spinning your wheels and going nowhere, repeating the same routine: feed hungry kids, wipe their little bottoms, teach them about life, repeat. Even when your days feel mundane, I want you to know that you’re living…
What Does a Common Cold Have to Do With Infertility?
After spending a week trying to get over a nasty head cold, I found myself thinking about how it’s similar to dealing with infertility. Since I work with children every day, I get exposed to their coughs and sneezes – especially in the winter when sickness spreads around and around. I know that it’s likely…
Please Warn Your Fertility-Challenged Friend
I remember trying to hide my tears when I heard her news. I wanted to be excited for her – in fact, I truly WAS happy for her – but her joyous announcement took me off guard and reminded me of what I did not have. Another day, another woman whispered her pregnancy news to…
How Do You Handle Being Around Kids?
A trend I notice in women who want to be mamas, but aren’t (because of circumstances beyond their control, such as no husband or infertility) is that many of us love working with kids. We are teachers, nannies, foster parents, Sunday school workers, doting aunties, and more. I’ve heard the question “how do you handle being around…
Don’t Call Me Infertile
I see it all over the Internet, a word that many people use to define themselves. I hear people say it about others: She is infertile. They are infertile. They were infertile for many years. There are a lot of words that I refuse to wear as a banner over my life. This is one of them. Please don’t…
Walk of Hope DC 2015
A year ago I didn’t know one bit about all of the infertility support that is available. I hadn’t heard of the Walk of Hope sponsored by Resolve, the National Infertility Association. A year ago I was timidly sharing an idea with my closest friends, saying something like, “I think I’m supposed to write a book about our…
How to Pray for a Couple Going Through Infertility
Just the other day a pastor asked me for suggestions of how to pray for couples in his congregation who are facing infertility. Since there are others out there who are wondering the same thing, I thought I’d share the list below: Pray that they would grow in their faith and relationship with God. Infertility…
