Help finding articles/blog posts infertility
Hello all. Im looking for blog posts or articles about the emotional difficulties of long term infetility and fertility treatments. A little more detail below.
We've just opened up to our parents about the long infertility journey we've been on. We've already had 3 failed pgs normal
(fet) transfers so you can imagine how long and painful this has been. They've asked us to be patient with them because this is a whole new world and they've said they may not do or say the right things. Totally reasonable and thoughtful reaction.
The first thing they did was jump online and look for remedies. I appreciate them wanting to help but weve been at this for years. Weve expressed to them that its really the emotional support and understanding we prefer.
I've noticed what's improtant to me is that they learn about the emotional trauma of this all. I don't care if they know all the physical treatments and difficulties weve had to endure. Doesn't hold a candle to the internal and psyche scars.
I've been looking for some stuff to send them that conveys the crushing, devastating, emotional side of infertility. I know I've read things before that I've really related to and that have touched me but I can't seem to find anything like that now.
They know we're sad and that its been hard, but its important to me that they start to see how interwoven emotions are to this for everyone battling ferility treatments and longterm infertility. I know that it's one of those things you can't understand fully unless you live it but I've read some things that really made me feel like someone reached into my soul and wrote what they saw in such impactful ways. Even posts people have shared on glow.
If you can think of anything that touched you or that you felt explained these aspects really well, please share. It would be so helpful. Thank you
