At twenty-one, I was diagnosed with infertility. It took a decade to prove the doctors wrong. At nineteen I suffered my first ovarian cyst. Two years later a doctor declared I'd never have children. After a decade of being dismissed as a hypochondriac, I was diagnosed with endometriosis, chronic ovarian cysts, a diseased Fallopian tube, and uterine polyps. My reproductive organs were a mess, and the constant pain was unbearable. Too stubborn to give up, I became a woman on a mission. Three surgeries and two cycles of in vitro fertilization later, we had our first daughter. A quickie while she was at school gave us our second. Infertility Sucks is an honest peek into how I put myself back together after infertility, IVF, and the depression that followed.

On July 8, 2013, I received laparoscopic surgery to discover stage IV endometriosis, polycystic ovaries, and a benign tumor inside my uterus that would require a D & C procedure, adhesion extraction, and leave me with 4 surgical scars as well as symptoms related to infertility. That day changed my life, who I was, my future, and everything about me that I had ever thought or believed to be true. I would become suicidal, scared, enraged, fearful, depressed, and hate no one more than myself. It was hard, lonely, and totally confusing, but I would not only survive, I would thrive, and so can you. For a period of time, infertility destroyed me. The struggle of trying to get pregnant destroyed me. My mind and the blame I felt destroyed me. I let it take over everything that I was until I realized what it had done to me and my life. I don't know if I will ever have a baby. I don't know if I will find answers to infertility. I don't know who I will be on the other side of this, but all I need to know is that I am committed to being there, because I am brave, I am love, I am strong, and while infertility caused me to believe otherwise, my hope is that you understand that you are too! Infertility Sucks, You Don't!

For millions of women worldwide, assisted reproductive technologies have become a reality in building a family. As promising as these technologies are, their price tags aren't so encouraging.
