Do we use the term "infertility" too loosely?
This question was posed to me a few weeks ago, and I've been thinking about it ever since.
Built In Birth Control brought it up on another post, and she got the wheels in my head spinning.
So much so, that I based my newest post for Fertility Authority around that question.
How do we define infertility? How do we differentiate ourselves and our diagnosis? How do we help the general public to understand that not every infertile can get pregnant by simply relaxing?
And does some of the answer lie in discussing our individualized diagnoses openly, rather than crawling under the blanket of infertility and allowing it to define us all?
We've had a discussion going at the community on this very subject, and I would love your input as well.
Sunday will be our next Live Infertility Chat (can you believe we've been doing this for over 2 months already?) Sparkle had 3 eggs released this last weekend during a medicated cycle, so we all have our fingers crossed for her during this tww and would love to root you on or commiserate alongside you as well.
If you want to catch up on this months past chats first, you can do so here:
Week 8
Week 7
Week 6
Week 5
Otherwise, we'll be starting at 3:00 PM Alaska time, and are anxious to hear your story!
And in the meantime (the right here, right now) while we're on the subject of diagnoses, what is yours? What is it that landed you in our little club? And what are your hopes and plans for the future?
