National Infertility Awareness Week: My Story

National Infertility Awareness Week: My Story

Infertility does not look one way.

And neither does the community it touches.

That is something I have come to understand deeply, both through my own journey and through the work I do today.

With it being National Infertility Awareness Week, it feels important to share a little more of my story. Not because it is unique, but because it is one version of what this journey can look like.

And that matters.

For a long time, I believed my life would follow a certain path.

Get married. Have children by 30. Build a family in the way I had always imagined.

But by 30, I had been married and divorced. I found myself in a place I had never expected, questioning everything I thought my life would look like.

In the years that followed, I experienced heartbreak in ways I was not prepared for.

Between having my three children, I experienced two miscarriages.

Those moments were isolating, confusing, and deeply painful. There were times I did not know if motherhood would fully be part of my story, and times where the uncertainty felt overwhelming.

It is a kind of experience that is hard to explain unless you have lived it.

Life did not unfold the way I expected.

It unfolded in its own time.

I met my husband at 39. I had my first baby at 41. And I went on to have two more children in my 40s.

It was not the timeline I had planned, but it became one that I now feel deeply connected to and grateful for.

And it changed me.

That journey is what led me to become a fertility coach.

Because I saw firsthand how much support was missing. The emotional support. The guidance. The space to process everything that comes with trying to conceive, experiencing loss, and navigating uncertainty.

Now, I support women through this same path, whether they are trying to conceive, grieving, exploring options, or simply looking for clarity.

National Infertility Awareness Week is a reminder of something simple, but important.

There is no one version of this journey.

Some people are in the middle of it.

Some are taking a break.

Some are grieving.

Some are still figuring it out.

Every version is valid.

If you are in this season right now, I want you to know this.

You are not behind.

You are on your own path.

And your story matters, exactly as it is.

If You Need Support Right Now

If this resonates with you, especially during National Infertility Awareness Week, you do not have to move through this on your own.

Whether you are trying to conceive, processing loss, navigating next steps, or simply needing someone who understands, support can make this season feel less overwhelming.

As a fertility coach, I support women through the emotional, mental, and practical parts of this journey so they can feel more grounded and supported in what can often feel uncertain.

If you feel ready for that kind of support, you can learn more about working together and explore what that could look like for you.

You deserve to feel supported in this.
