Infertility is the New Black

Welcome to our blog. Our catchy title is not meant to say that Infertility is by any means “hip”, but rather to show that it is extremely relevant and common in today’s world.

As we begin to work on our mission statement for our “about” page, we will start to describe why we created this blog. We are a happily married couple of 7+ years and have been going through the trials of Infertility treatments for the last 3+ years. We have been unsuccessful and wanted to create a platform to share emotions of our journey as well as give others a place to share their experiences.

We see this blog evolving as dual purpose. First, it will be a place to display our actual range of emotions, as we have ok days, bad days and even worse days. It was suggested that this could be therapeutic in a way. Second, there is much to be said regarding friends and relatives who do not understand the struggle that we are going through. This will be a type of “Sensitivity Training” for them. Even though our friends and family try to be supportive, they just don’t get it and tend to be non-helpful with their advice and commentary.

We don’t have a happy-ending to our story yet and are trying to find peace along the way. This blog will not highlight happy endings. Stories that end with a child can be found elsewhere. The same goes for support. It should be understood that we are rooting for all couples going through the Infertility process and wishing them much success – “baby dust” and “sticky thoughts”. However if you want to find those type of comments, there are plenty of other forums out there for that purpose. This site will just be an outlet for the real-time emotional effects of not having your own biological child and the feelings associated with failed treatments.

As we begin to post more articles and stories, the blog will start to take shape in these directions. Please bare with us and feel free to comment on anything and everything. Thanks and there will be more to come soon…..
