Reposted from Lindsay Silberman’s blog “My Egg Freezing Journey: Everything You’ve Ever Wanted to Know About Freezing Your Eggs.” I’ll preface this post the same way I prefaced that one by saying that fertility can be a really tricky, really emotional subject, and, more than anything else, it’s also really personal. If the topic is at all triggering for you, please know that I’ll be speaking very candidly about a lot of it below.

Needless to say, Mother’s Day can be challenging when you are struggling with infertility, but the truth is most days are challenging when you are struggling with infertility. Dealing with infertility is isolating. Most women suffer alone. If you are struggling with infertility, you probably feel as though your body has betrayed you, not being able to execute its most basic human function.

We got married on March 23, 2018, and immediately started trying to conceive. Never in my wildest dreams did I think we would struggle with creating life. We both were incredibly healthy, and never did we think we were that “1 in 8.” That happens to other people, not us…right? Well, we were wrong – we tried to conceive naturally for a year.

Our CEO and founder Gina Bartasi’s journey — she’s a mom of twin seven-year-old boys that she had through IVF; her twin sister has twin 14-year-old girls through IVF; her husband’s twin brother has 8-year-old twins via IVF. Gina has been quoted to say, “the growth in the fertility industry is a direct ramification of macro-economic trends as more and more women wait to get married and wait to have children.” A statistic that rings true today.

National Infertility Awareness Week is a great time to talk about infertility prevention and management. Infertility is a public health problem, affecting one in every eight couples trying to conceive. Insurance doesn’t routinely cover it, and because it is a complex issue, it often doesn’t get addressed during routine doctor visits.
