A Letter To Infertile Women
negativepregnancytest.com

I am dedicating this article to all the infertile women in the world.

Though we may never meet each other, we share something special.

To the next infertile woman,

Welcome to the family! You may have just received the news that you are infertile and you don't exactly know how to process it. Your head is spinning. You may be feeling sick from realizing your body won't be capable of bearing a child. Take a deep breath, you'll get through it.

I am here to let you know that you will survive this. Yes, at first it feels like your entire world is crumbling down, that you will never fulfill your duty as a woman because you can't get pregnant and that no one will ever love you. Think again.

There are hundreds of thousands of women that love you and know exactly how you feel, including myself.

I know that you feel miserable knowing that you will never experience the anxiety of peeing on a pregnancy test, planning your baby shower or delivering a baby. You have to remember this is something you had no control over.

You feel less of a woman. You begin to feel powerless, likes there's no point to living but there is... you have to live for yourself.

Finding out that you're infertile can really mess up your life; I want you to start a journal and keep track of your thoughts because one can go insane if they keep the emotions bottled up inside.

Though knowing that you can't get pregnant becomes an obsession you think about 24/7, remember to keep your sanity.

Your desire to become pregnant is the only thing you will think of.

Don't let infertility take over your life.

You're thinking that you will never find a man who will love you because you can't give him a child. This, I wish I could say I have a straight answer, but the real answer lies within yourself. Let yourself open up to a man, don't scare him away. Open up and see how things go.

You're thinking if it's that hard to find a man, you'll never get married and your future mother-in-law will hate you.

Don't lose your faith in mankind.

You will be the envy of your friends. They will tell you how lucky you are to have all the unprotected sex you want without worrying about a pregnancy scare. Though they are partially right, there's more to unprotected sex. There are still diseases to be cautious about.

Your mom will try and cope with you and tell you she understands but the truth is she doesn't. She's had a child of her own, she has lived through motherhood and the thought of being an infertile woman cannot process through her head clearly.

You will receive rude comments like: Maybe you weren't meant to be a mom, Maybe you're meant to live a child-free life, you can always adopt, etc.

Don't let the comments get to you. You are worthy of living the best life you can ever have.

I ask that you never blame yourself for being infertile because you've done nothing wrong.

I know all of this because I was once in your shoes, and still am.

If you need someone to talk to, I am always here to share my love. We share something only you and I will ever comprehend.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
