Top 12 Infertility Blogs

1. Top 12 Infertility Blogs The fact of the matter is, when a couple is facing infertility, they are going to be facing plenty of heartaches, and will be grieving about the fact that they cannot have a baby the traditional way. It is an isolating experience for these couples, and when couples are requiring help with specialists intervening, it becomes very costly. Additionally, not all infertility expenses are covered by insurance. These couples will often be quite depressed, and their depression can lead to being less productive at work, and they may become forgetful, and won’t be paying their bills on time due to fertility being a huge distraction. Infertility is a lonely struggle, and the unfortunate thing as well is that couples who are struggling with infertility do isolate themselves. That means, they won’t be telling their friends or family about these struggles because of the unfortunate stigma that is associated with infertility. This makes them feel even more alone. And, they will not want to go to events where there are babies or pregnant women around. Especially if it is a friend’s baby shower. As much as they want to be happy for their friends and family members that are expecting, they can’t help but feel jealous and resentful either. It’s a true struggle facing infertility, and many fertility clinics do offer therapy so these couples can get the emotional support they need while going through a difficult time. Women have taken to the Internet to recount their struggles, to offer hope to those likewise suffering, to provide support so others know they are not alone. Infertility blogs have cropped up everywhere, and range from heartwarming to funny to poignant, as these brave women recount their troubles for all the world to read. Read on!
