Fertility Blog
by Jennifer Robertson
I was never a negative person……until my fertility journey. I was always a glass half full kinda gal, and saw the best in every situation.
I think that was why infertility was so hard (ok, there were many reasons). Because it changes us. And while we’re told all the...
Six months into our fertility journey, my husband and I went to our doctor with our sex life in tatters, and my type A personality driving us crazy. I still wasn’t pregnant (it’s amazing how just 2 months of trying can seem like an eternity when that’s all you think...
One of the things that screws us up the most on our fertility journey is the picture we have in our head of how it was supposed to look.
My husband and I were married, and started trying for a baby on our honeymoon. I’d already cleared my calendar for 9 months later, when...
The longer you’re on this journey, the more you ask yourself this question. When you’re feeling exhausted and lost and overwhelmed. In those moments of defeat, we wonder silently, how much more of this can I take?
I was driven to write this blog because one of my private...
Control what you can, let go of the rest.
We hear people saying this all the time. Heck, even I say it all the time. And then someone asked me recently……how do you let go of the rest? And it’s such a great question.
It’s not like it’s a banana...
Infertility is a beast. Going through it is hard. But watching your loved ones deal with the loss and disappointment that comes with infertility, is hard too. Trying to support someone going through such a soul-destroying time in their life, is an impossible task. There are so many...
I don’t think anyone would argue with me when I say that, the emotions we feel as a result of infertility are complicated, right?
Sometimes they are so big that we can’t even comprehend them, or understand them, let alone process them. And trying to explain all of that to other people...
Affirmations can be a source of relief, and can also make you feel foolish at the same time. It all depends on why you’re using them, and how you’re using them.
I love a good inspirational quote, however an affirmation about me specifically, can sometimes feel like a...
It’s been just over 6 years since we stepped off our fertility rollercoaster. To be honest, it feels like it was yesterday. We were blessed with two beautiful children as a result. But the lessons I learned during that journey, and as I continue to reflect on that time, keep on...
About 6 months into our trying to conceive journey, I started experiencing what I can only describe as panic attacks. It mainly happened when we were driving in the car. I’d struggle to get my breath and felt like I just couldn’t expand my lungs. I’d be yawning all...
It’s just a doctor’s appointment, right?! So why do we feel so anxious in the lead up? Why do we feel nervous in the waiting room? Why is it always so tense, quiet and awkward in there?
Because it’s not just a doctor’s appointment. A fertility specialist appointment is so...
I feel like I’m a bit of an expert on this subject. You see, it took me 6 years to finally see those two lines on a pregnancy test. And as crazy (and unhygienic) as it is, I actually keep that pregnancy test in my desk draw, almost 7 years later. That means I saw a crap...
