Communi Tea

There is a sense of community among those who struggle with infertility. For years I used to think I was alone, or I was in denial that we had a problem with conceiving. While living in Calgary we became friends with a young couple who had tried for years but were now in the process of adoption. I remember thinking, that will never be me. After a couple of years, I realized I was one of THOSE....the infertile. I´ve never been one to keep personal information to myself so when asked if I have any children I say," Nope, but always trying" or " we´ve been unsuccessful". Usually that opens door for others to share their experiences. I´ve made many friends along the way through sharing personal stories  and experiences of infertility. People love to share what worked for them, I have loads of information everything from spacial teas, lubricants to coconut oil and gluten free diets. I realized that it was alright to struggle with fertility, that I don´t have some contagious disease.

Just recently I was on the phone ordering vitamins and I just happened to mention that I found my periods becoming more regular because of the pills. She then shared her story of trying to get pregnant and it wasn´t until she was 38 when she had her first child. She directed me to a website to a tea that helped her conceive in a couple months. A story of HOPE.

Lesson of the day:   Don´t be afraid to share.
