Five things I wish I'd never heard during my infertility struggle, and five things I wish people would say. #1. "Just relax!" 🤪 makingamiller.com/what-not-t… #infertility #IVF #FridayFeeling #IVFStrongerTogether #MakingAMiller #infertilityawareness #ivfsupport #ttcsupport #ivflife

This is disgusting. How this man is being seriously considered for the highest appointment in the land is beyond me.
Asked if he ever drank to the point of blacking out, Brett Kavanaugh responded to Sen. Amy Klobuchar: "I don't know. Have you?" After a short recess, Kavanaugh apologized to Klobuchar: "I'm sorry I did that. This is a tough process." abcn.ws/2DCdT4x #KavanaughHearings

I was young and embarrased. I told my parents, but we avoided going to the police because I didn't want to deal with the shame and drag things out. #WhyIDidntReport newsandguts.com/victims-sexu…
One year ago today, we were at our IVF consult appointment. Today, I am 35 weeks pregnant as a result of that IVF cycle, and feeling my baby girl move and stretch inside of me. Life is crazy sometimes. #infertility #IVF #IVFsuccess #IVFpregnancy #makingamiller

IVF seemed like such a huge mountain to climb, but when I actually had to climb it, I just put one foot in front of the other. Is this you, right now? Trust me, it gets easier. Just keep on going. #infertility #IVF #TTC #beatinfertility
Vary rarely does anyone see IVF in their future, especially early in their #infertility journey. Did IVF seem like it was off in the distance at one point and then eventually become your path? Share your story! Then listen to Stefanie tell hers: beatinfertility.co/low-amh-s…

If you have a gut instinct that something is wrong, don’t wait. Trust your gut. #infertility #IVF #TTC
Being proactive is one of the best things you can do for yourself throughout your #infertility journey. How have you been proactive? Share your story! Then listen to Stefanie tell hers: beatinfertility.co/low-amh-s…

I completely agree with Stefanie: although #infertility will always be a part of you, it does NOT define you. What moments of light and joy have you experienced during your journey? Share your story! Then listen to Stefanie tell hers: beatinfertility.co/low-amh-s…

New on the blog: "Just you wait..." Aka, my new least favorite pearls of wisdom offered up by those who have already entered the gauntlet of parenthood. 😑 makingamiller.com/just-you-w… #makingamiller #IVFpregnancy #Infertility #Pregnantafterinfertility #IVF #TTC
Part two of the @CircleBloom blog series is up! More on what I and other women wish we had known before we went through #IVF. #infertility #TTC
We spoke to 6 women for this two-part blog series, & asked them, “What do you wish you had known about #IVF in the beginning?” We hope their responses will help in some small (or big) way as you move forward in your journey. #TTC #infertility Read Part 2: bit.ly/2Nn8vTk

Thanks to @resolveorg for sharing this blog post I was featured in from @CircleBloom! #infertility #IVF #IVFSupport
Are there a few things you had wished that your doctor told you before beginning fertility treatment? @CircleBloom recently interviewed community members/ infertility bloggers to find out what they had to say on this topic. Ourmisconception @the2weekwait circlebloom.com/what-doctors…

One does not simply "relax" and become pregnant. (If that was the case, many of us would be richer, have a child, and have less tears.) Infertility is a medical diagnosis.

Before your first experience with #IVF the doctors & clinic will tell you what to expect medically. But there’s so much more to IVF. Here are some tips to make injections easier, to preparing yourself emotionally from our community & #infertility bloggers. bit.ly/2OTPtFb
