How To Get Healthy And Get Pregnant

This week is National Infertility Awareness Week.   I know a lot of organizations are raising awareness this week about this with activities and inspirational stories, and we’re doing the same at the office.  But one thing I refuse to do is to use the word infertility and call this a disease. It’s not a disease. Just saying infertility makes me cringe because I do not like that word at all.  I avoid it at all cost, like a plague. Every woman is practically fertile, period. But infertility has become an identity for so many women. What you don’t know is that our identify drives the stories that we’re telling ourselves.  An identity is created based on some type of experience that we encounter, and we interpret the experience and ultimately form a belief around the experience.  Then we craft stories based on this belief that become our identify, and our identity fuels our stories. It’s a loop that goes round and round and round.   And it is exactly why in this loop, a lot of self sabotage happens.     Links men
