🌍🎉 Happy World IVF Day! 🎉🌍⁠

Today, we celebrate the incredible journeys of individuals and couples who have gone through IVF treatment or are current IVF warriors. As someone who is a parent because of IVF, I know firsthand the hope, determination, and joy that come with this path. While not every IVF journey will lead to parenthood, the ability to access this game changing medicine is a blessing, one we can’t take for granted. ⁠

Did you know that 20% of all married couples will experience infertility? This statistic doesn’t even include solo or gay parents. In fact, IVF accounts for 2% of all births annually in the US. These numbers highlight the profound impact of IVF in making dreams of parenthood a reality for so many.⁠

Let’s honor the resilience and courage of those navigating this journey. Share your stories, offer support, and raise awareness about the transformative power of fertility treatments.⁠

Here’s to all the amazing families built through IVF and to those still on their journey. Your strength and hope inspire us all. 💖✨⁠

Having a baby late as a solo parent means that so often I thought I was doing or saying something helpful to friends with kiddos and I realize now just how unsupportive and helpful I probably was.⁠

Not to say that people without kids don’t understand, because some of my childfree friends or friends who have not yet become parents are some of my best supporters,⁠

but because I was not the best friend I wish I had been.⁠

It takes a village. Pay it forward⁠

You get to decide what your idea of community looks like to you.⁠

You don’t have to be defined by the people who came before you, or who are around you now, this means that your definition of family can look different than what is around you.⁠

You can make your own definition of family, and that’s okay.

In this episode, we delve deep into the emotional journey of infertility, shedding light on the complexities, challenges, and unexpected twists that accompany the quest for parenthood.⁠

KEY TAKEAWAYS:⁠
1. The Unfairness of Fertility: It's a bitter pill to swallow when a woman who neglected her health can easily conceive, while those who meticulously cared for their bodies face infertility struggles. This unfairness adds another layer of emotional turmoil to an already challenging journey.⁠

2. The Burden of Decision-Making: Making life-altering decisions during IVF can feel like navigating through a storm. With hormones raging, exhaustion looming, and stakes at an all-time high, the pressure to choose the right path is overwhelming. It's crucial to have a trusted support system to lean on during these tumultuous times.⁠

3. The Uncertainty of Treatment: Despite undergoing IUI or IVF treatments, there are no guarantees of success. The rollercoaster of hope and disappointment can take its toll on mental and emotional well-being, leaving individuals feeling defeated and disheartened.⁠

Join us as we unpack these key takeaways and delve into the raw, unfiltered experiences of individuals grappling with infertility. ⁠

Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that offers insight, validation, and a sense of solidarity to those navigating the turbulent waters of fertility challenges.⁠

As we wrap up NIAW, I hope we have all learned:

- Infertility affects 1 in every 8 couples
- Miscarriage impacts 1 in every 4 pregnancies
- Solo parenting is an amazing option for family building (so is IVF/ ART, surrogacy, adoption, blending family’s and electing not to have kids)
- Just Relax is a 4 letter word

It’s important to remember that infertility is not a reflection of your worth or your character. You have done absolutely nothing wrong. The journey of starting a family is complex, and it is filled with unique challenges for each individual. It's vital to nurture yourself with compassion and self-love throughout this process.⁠

Infertility is a medical condition that affects many couples and individuals worldwide, and it’s beyond your control. Instead of blaming yourself or feeling guilt, choose to channel your energy towards understanding and supporting yourself. ⁠
