10 Popular Sayings That Hurt People With Infertility – INFOGRAPHIC
When was the last time someone gave you instructions on how to reproduce?
If you answered “never” I’ll bet you’re not dealing with infertility.
If you answered “last Tuesday”, I’ll bet you’ve got a fertility doctor on speed dial…and are familiar with the dual frustration of coping with infertility and the rude comments of others.
By itself, infertility is an emotionally painful disease. But throw in the “well-intentioned” comments of friends and in-laws offering “advice” and that pain and hurt swells up like a water balloon straining to burst.
I made this infographic because I want people to know that the things they say to couples struggling with infertility ad undergoing fertility treatments like IVF — even “helpful tips” — can cause hurt feelings.
Supporting people with infertility is easy: all you have to do is listen and try to empathize.
