Thank you for writing this. I'm in the midst of infertility (8 years and not giving up hope just yet). It is hearing the words of others that helps us heal through this.

It's a painful process to go through. Thank you for sharing the side people rarely hear. Most assume you have chosen to be childfree. They never consider the pain of wanting to be a parent and not having it happen for whatever reason. I feel your pain because I went through it myself. Good for you having the awareness to start living with intention.

Thank you, Rindy. I know what you mean, I can't tell you how many people tell me how lucky I am to have so much freedom because they assume I chose it. I'm sorry you are able to relate to what I wrote.
