I went through infertility for 9 years and only those who have experienced it can truly understand it. After all, infertility impacts fundamental issues in our life: career, finances, relationships with family and partner, short-term plans, in addition to our self-esteem and sex life.

 

Not being able to conceive violates not only the natural life cycle (birth, growth, reproduction, and death), but also an expectation set since we played with dolls. To exacerbate, we are doomed for “not being able to relax”, “being too anxious”, or “not being ready for motherhood”.

 

As if our personal distress wasn't enough, we have to deal with a number of recommendation from well-intentioned people: raised legs after sexual intercourse, yam tea, healing and liberation mass, adoption... We also feel disoriented in the face of so many medical treatments, protocols, tests (genetic, hematological, immunological, ERA, etc). As a result, we feel confused and scared that we will never take a baby home.
