Such an important message to share during #infertilityawarenessweek
Posted @withregram β’ @preysmd I spent years believing health was about discipline. Eat clean. Exercise. Stay lean. But when I went through IVF, I realized how little of it was actually in my hands. My body wasnβt something to micromanageβit was something to support, to listen to, to work with instead of constantly trying to βfix.β
So if youβre in midlife, struggling with weight, hormones, or just feeling like you donβt recognize yourself anymoreβlet this be your permission slip to stop blaming yourself. You are not failing. Your body is not betraying you. Itβs shifting, evolving, adapting. And the best thing you can do? Support itβnot fight it.
Infertility is more common than you might think β and it touches countless lives in quiet ways.
During Infertility Awareness Week, weβre sharing facts, fostering compassion, and holding space for every journey to parenthood.
You are not alone. π #InfertilityAwareness #TTCCommunity #BreakingTheSilence #YouAreNotAlone #FertilitySupport #AllPathsToParenthood #All4Birth
