I am not a writer and will never claim to be, so why am I blogging? It all started with a conversation with a friend on a topic that we are passionate about because we are involuntarily directly connected to it. That topic would be infertility. We were discussing how women do not talk what they are going through during infertility, even though the statistics are staggering on the amount of women experiencing infertility.
- Number of married women ages 15-44 that are infertile (unable to get pregnant for at least 12 consecutive months): 2.1 million
- Percent of married women ages 15-44 that are infertile: 7.4%
- Number of women ages 15-44 who have ever used infertility services: 7.3 million

I am not sure why we don't talk about our experiences. Some guesses would be, feeling embarrassed that we are not easily able to do what so many other women can do, or it is too painful, or we feel that others who do not have this experience really wouldn't understand. Women today have to hear about all of these perfect 40+ women in Hollywood having babies and many having multiples, saying it is such a miracle that I am pregnant! It is frustrating to someone who is going through infertility to listen to these women, who more than likely went through fertility treatments, lead women to believe that they got pregnant without any help. Thank you Celine Dion for honestly sharing your story of infertility! There are others who have also shared there story, but it would just be nice if more of the so called perfect Hollywood women would be honest about their story. Women need to support each other and lift each other up!
So why am I blogging about my journey? I guess there are a few reasons, the most important being that if telling my story could in any way help someone else who is suffering from infertility, than that would be the best result of this blog! On a personal note, I deal with difficult situations internally and I have always been told when you are dealing with something difficult write about it, so I am. My journey will start 2 years ago with a couple excited and ready to start a family.
Go Cheri! I'm so proud of you. Keep it going-I look forward to reading more:)
ReplyDeleteWe tried to get pregnant for a few years in a local clinic. There were no results. We've tried everything possible but nothing. We were recommended to use donor eggs. I knew we have to try herbal made medicine. I was terrified. I didn't know how to go about it and where to begin my search. When my friend recommended me to Dr Itua herbal medicine in Western African. I thought she was joking. I knew nothing about that country and I was afraid with shame I must say I thought it was a little bit...wild? Anyway she convinced me to at least check it out. I've done the research and thought that maybe this really is a good idea. Dr Itua has reasonable prices. Also it has high rates of successful treatments. Plus it uses Natural Herbs. Well I should say I was convinced. I and My Husband give a try and now we can say it was the best decision in our lives. We were trying for so long to have a child and suddenly it all looked so simple. The doctors and staff were so confident and hopeful they projected those feelings on me too. I am so happy to be a mother and eternally thankful to Dr Itua and Lori My Dear Friend. Don’t be afraid and just do it!
