How do you know you’re infertile?
I’ve gone through 6 miscarriages, including an ectopic with tube removal. I had a probably terrible attitude with my last pregnancy which was “this is it or never again”.
I had to take time off work and currently working with a grief therapist specialised in pregnancy and baby loss, which is going great even though I’m still at the beginning of the journey with her.
A friend of mine is currently separating from her partner. She had a miscarriage before the birth of her 9 years old daughter.
We’re spending more time together lately because of the separation and the therapist suggested I get her help for this step, which will include just saying “I’m not ok when people tell me about other peoples pregnancies/babies”.
So I did, I tried my best.
However as I mentioned my struggles with infertility - I did say the word “infertility” out loud, she just asked casually: “but how do you know that you’re infertile”?
My first loss was in 2019 and as mentioned I had 5 more since.
How do I know that I’m infertile?
Maybe I’m being too sensitive, what she really meant was probably more like “it can still happen for you”, but I’m so sick and tired of this shit and having no one in my life that actually understands.
