37: Six Things I Wish I Knew About Infertility Before Being Diagnosed with It

Messy Motherhood

Show Notes

Don't you wish that you could go back and give yourself a heads up about a few things during a particular hard time in your life?

My husband and I were diagnosed with unexplained infertility in 2018 and we've been through so much ever since the day we got our diagnosis. There are so many things that I wish I could go back and tell myself. Not that it would've made it any easier, but maybe it would've softened the blow? I'm honestly not sure, but I was recently thinking about this whole idea- if I could go back and tell myself a few things, what would I say?

And that's what led to this episode on the podcast! I started making a list and let's just say, that list is rather long. I decided to cut it down to "Six Things I Wish I Knew About Infertility Before Being Diagnosed with It" sharing personal snippets from our story as we navigate this conversation.

If you're a fellow infertility warrior, just know that I'm sending you a huge hug and stay tuned because I'll probably follow this up with another part- there's so much to talk about! In the meantime, hit play on this episode and just know that you are so loved and you're not alone.

"It doesn't have to be perfect in order for it to be beautiful. It doesn't have to be perfect in order for it to be special. It doesn't have to be perfect in order for it to be memorable. It's not about everything being perfect. It's about everyone being together and making memories. Focus on being present, not perfect." - Stephanie Booe
