Fertility Patients Share Their Experience

“None of my friends understand what I’ve been through, either because they got pregnant quickly or haven’t started trying yet. Finding these ladies helped me more than I ever could have imagined. They were there for me at my darkest points and never judged, because they understood exactly what it’s like."

K.L.

“The first time I came to a support group and I heard we would make some lifelong friends I didn’t believe it. I thought I’d come to the groups, maybe find some common ground with the infertility then go home and that be it...but they were right. I made some amazing friends here.”

H.T.

“I never had to explain or edit myself to the friends I made on this journey. I never once apologized for the things that I was feeling, I never had to make up excuses or pretend like everything was okay, I came as I was to these support groups, and I was validated.”

C.J.
