What Loved Ones Would Tell You, If They Knew What Infertility Feels Like


If you've been through the holidays while struggling with infertility before, you know the drill. As you travel toward gatherings of friends and family, your mind searches for the next best response to the inevitable question: “Are you pregnant yet?”

Fortunately, the Internet is now full of helpful tips for the people around you, advice on what not to say. But this article by Larami Williams on Divine Caroline offers more than that – she lists 7 things that infertile people want to hear from loved ones.

This could one of those links that gets passed around frequently this time of year. And instead of dreading the holiday gatherings, try considering that most loved ones really will say the right thing, once they've been enlightened about how it feels to long for parenthood. I and my staff at Houston Fertility Center wish you the warmest Thanksgiving ever.
