Since I started sharing my
Infertility story last week I have met so many wonderful women. Not only thru
Pinterest where I have an Infertility board, but also on the page I have
created on Facebook. These women have all been saying to me that they feel
alone. And I have agreed with them that I have felt the same sometimes on a
daily basis. Yes we all have our husbands and family members to support us, but
unless you have someone else around who is dealing with the same it is very
lonely.
My husband and I were
diagnosed with Unexplained Infertility. So we are not sure if it is something
wrong with both of us or just me. In saying this when you feel like all of this
is your fault and your partner is fine the feeling of loneliness can become
greater. You start to feel that the one person who is also suffering doesn’t
understand either.
I felt alone for sometime as
my husband and I kept our Infertility private for quite awhile. Last year was
our first year of dealing with IF and I was embrassed to say stuff to people.
Didn’t want pity stares or people to feel they had to say something and most of
the time that something was the complete wrong thing.
This year we have finally
started being more vocal about what we are dealing with and at times it can be
a good or bad thing. I will be honest I feel like I have gone thru more alone
times since I did start talking about it. I think it is mostly due to the fact
that people try to say things to be comforting or you voice your opinion and
they become ignorant. In the last few weeks however since I shared my story on
facebook and created a page I have met some truly amazing women and I also have
a few friends that have shared their story with me that I would have never
known otherwise.
In summing this all up and to
make my point. Anyone out there dealing with Infertility you are Not Alone! I
would strongly encourage you to make your voice heard and share your story. You
just never know who else out there is dealing with the same.
