Speak Up About Infertility
Posted on August 9, 2010
If you have not read the article in the SELF online magazine called Breaking the Silence on Infertility you need to read it now.
It is up to us, those who are currently suffering and those who have overcome* infertility, to speak out and share our story. I do so on Facebook all of the time. I frequently tell people my twins are a result of an IVF treatment, when appropriate. I am not ashamed of my infertility journey. My children are beautiful and mean more to me than life itself.
It’s time. Talk about your infertility so that we can make progress on advocacy, insurance coverage, and perception by the general public.
* not everyone will be successful through fertility treatments, so the term “overcome” encompasses those who had success via treatment, adopt or live childfree not by choice.

I too have been challenged with getting pregnant and have tried IVF, but the cost where we live is very high so I have looked to other alternatives. this is an article I wrote about infertility.
