Today I want to let you know you're doing a great job of a really hard thing. Focus on these infertility quotes

If you're feeling

Sad,

Angry,

Tired,

Left out,

Disappointed.

Your feelings are completely valid and real.

You are not doing anything wrong and you are enough, right now, as you are.

Enough of a woman

Enough of a contributor to society

Enough of a friend, daughter, partner, colleague

You are beautiful

You are human

You are navigating this journey in the best damn way you know possible.

Yes, you'll have hard days.

Yes, you'll have setbacks.

Yes, the journey will probably take longer than you thought it would.

But that doesn't make you less human.

Having feelings and emotions... make you human.

Having bad days.... Make you human.

Not being perfect... that makes you human.

For some of us, the path to parenthood looks different and that's ok.

For some of us, we discover that having children is no longer part of our story and that's ok too.

You don't need to know what your story will look like just yet, but you do need to be committed to continuing to turn the page.

To continue to put one foot in front of the other.

To believe that you are enough, right now, as you are.

And you were born worthy, you are worthy now, and no matter what the future holds, you'll continue to be worthy.

You are valued and loved by so many people and have so much to give.

And you are worthy of happiness, love and joy.

Not when you reach the next step, whatever that is.

Right now.
