Infertility - How to Support Friends Going Through It: Raw Stories & Real Advice from Women Who’ve Been There
This episode dives deep into a topic that hits close to home for so many: infertility. Whether you’re on your own TTC journey, have faced infertility, or want to support someone who has, this episode is for you.
You’ll hear from three incredible women—blogger Linda Hoang, Jess’s sister-in-law Ruth, and our very own Heather—as they share some of the hardest chapters of their lives.
Together, we talk about:
- How to show up as a supportive friend
- Why opening up about struggles can make a difference
- The emotional toll of waiting
- Takeaways and even some secrets for navigating the fertility clinic process
Each woman’s journey looks different, but each ends with pregnancy ❤️
- Linda: After nearly a decade of trying and many heartbreaking setbacks, she and her husband welcomed a baby boy, who was conceived naturally against all odds!
- Ruth: After three years of trying, IVF helped give her the new name, "mommy". She’s now soaking up life with her sweet 7-month-old.
- Heather: Faced with secondary infertility, she started to accept life as a single-child family, until her third and final round of IUI proved to be successful!
