The number 24 has been raging in my head over the holidays. The 24th month of being barren people and baby-less. Once you get that number in your head it’s hard to make it disappear. Then I thought, ‘this is the mother-lovin’ advent calendar of infertility!’ I laughed to myself how dark this was, and how some of the best moments with my husband are those very dark humorous jokes about how depressed, sad, and messed up we are. And some of the worst are when we have to quietly sit at parties, knowing I just got my period, or quietly watch pregnancy announcements happen. The social stigma of infertility and just plain being in it and feeling like a failure has sucked the fun out of infertility! Essentially talking>being quiet about infertility (most days). I would like to put the #funbackininfertility . Without any adieu, here is my advent calendar of infertility! (On a side please laugh and enjoy the read.)
