Couples Chatting About Infertility

Sit back with us as we talk with Christie. She’s an amazing stay-at-home mama with an incredible energy. We chat about so much… what’s keeping her busy in life right now, what her plans are for continuing to try for a second child and everything in between. She opens up about getting married at a young age, when her and her husband felt like they were ready to start a family, and being naive to just how difficult it might really be. We chat about how at the time when we were both going through unexplained infertility, there wasn’t a ton of information out there to help women like us and how it was easy to feel so alone. We also get into how much effort we, as women, put into different fertility treatments, IVF cycles and how it feels when it doesn’t work out. All of the emotional, mental and physical baggage that comes along with going through the trenches of infertility.

On this episode, we talk about the importance of mental health throughout ones infertility journey. We talk about things we wish we would have done differently while we were going through our own personal struggle trying to conceive. We talk about what's working for us now and what we are still working on to continue in our journey of healing. We discuss why it's so important to find something you can do for your own mental and just how important ones mental health through the infertility journey really is. Tim opens up about how seeking something like yoga and meditation have helped him tremendously in his own journey of healing. Morgan explains how she really lost herself and stopped making her mental health a priority when she gave everything to trying to get pregnant and starting her family. We discuss how it's so easy to get swept up in the vicious cycle of infertility and how we didn't always put own own mental health first while trying to start our family. We talk about how easy it is to not make yourself a priority while going through infertility and treatments, and the importance of making sure you are aware of just how important it really is.

On this episode, we share our story and touch on our fifteen year relationship together. We talk about how we met in high school, made it through a long-distance relationship and how just as we finally felt like we were starting our life together, we were hit with infertility. We go back and talk about how going through seven years of unexplained infertility took over our lives. How it took a toll on our mental, physical and emotional well-being.
