Download or read book Infertility Sucks You Don t written by Shannon Wooten and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-12-20 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On July 8, 2013, I received laparoscopic surgery to discover stage IV endometriosis, polycystic ovaries, and a benign tumor inside my uterus that would require a D & C procedure, adhesion extraction, and leave me with 4 surgical scars as well as symptoms related to infertility. That day changed my life, who I was, my future, and everything about me that I had ever thought or believed to be true. I would become suicidal, scared, enraged, fearful, depressed, and hate no one more than myself. It was hard, lonely, and totally confusing, but I would not only survive, I would thrive, and so can you. For a period of time, infertility destroyed me. The struggle of trying to get pregnant destroyed me. My mind and the blame I felt destroyed me. I let it take over everything that I was until I realized what it had done to me and my life. I don't know if I will ever have a baby. I don't know if I will find answers to infertility. I don't know who I will be on the other side of this, but all I need to know is that I am committed to being there, because I am brave, I am love, I am strong, and while infertility caused me to believe otherwise, my hope is that you understand that you are too! Infertility Sucks, You Don't!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At twenty-one, I was diagnosed with infertility. It took a decade to prove the doctors wrong. At nineteen I suffered my first ovarian cyst. Two years later a doctor declared I'd never have children. After a decade of being dismissed as a hypochondriac, I was diagnosed with endometriosis, chronic ovarian cysts, a diseased Fallopian tube, and uterine polyps. My reproductive organs were a mess, and the constant pain was unbearable. Too stubborn to give up, I became a woman on a mission. Three surgeries and two cycles of in vitro fertilization later, we had our first daughter. A quickie while she was at school gave us our second. Infertility Sucks is an honest peek into how I put myself back together after infertility, IVF, and the depression that followed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eight and a Half Years Sixteen Infertility Cycles Four Timed Intercourse Cycles Two IUI Cycles Two Egg Retrievals Seven Frozen Embryo Transfers Thousands of Dollars Two Miscarriages Three Pregnancies Live Births ...? That’s my infertility story. Almost a decade of trying, almost $65,000 spent on infertility treatments. So many IVF cycles that I can give myself progesterone shots in the rear. So many transvaginal pelvic ultrasounds that a pap smear no longer impresses me. Changed relationships, changed career goals. A whole list of things no one should ever say to someone going through infertility. And almost a baby. Almost. Because even though I am scheduled for a C-section next week, as I publish this book, I still do not have any guarantees. Infertility is a hell of a life crisis. But also, if you can learn how to navigate these choppy waters—if you can learn how to let go of what you can’t control, how to cope with the hard parts you never saw coming, how to play the world’s longest waiting game—you will build resilience and grit you didn’t think you were capable of. This is not a “how to have a baby” book. It’s not a “how to survive until you have a baby” book. It’s a “how to survive and maybe even thrive while trying to have a baby” book. That’s what I know: how to survive infertility and make the best of it while you’re praying for the miracle of a baby. And I know how to survive this because I’ve done it for nearly a decade. Some people just have sex to get pregnant. Not me. Maybe not you, either. We have infertility battles to fight, and this gets worse before it gets better. But I was made strong enough for this, and so were you. Let me show you how I know.
