There should be no stigma attached to infertilit­y, ever

-

Iwas overwhelme­d with the response from last week’s column and I thank you all for your support.

I was inundated with messages from many people who just wanted to tell me they were thinking of me. But lots of people chose to share their own experience­s and I was grateful to be trusted with it. It’s hard to tell your truth – but especially hard when that truth hurts like it does when talking about issues so close to the heart.

The reason I chose to write about our miscarriag­e was to ensure more conversati­ons are had around the topic and I am thankful that it at least sparked a conversati­on.

Now we need to continue that conversati­on and try to reduce the stigma that surrounds infertilit­y.
