Each week I interview someone who has experienced infertility firsthand. Every so often, I like to gather a collection of quotes from these interviews. In the past, I’ve shared 21 Infertility Quotes and 34 Infertility Quotes. And today I’m sharing quotes about infertility from my 23 most recent interviews. Enjoy!
Sharing our struggle with our small group from church was extremely helpful. Although I still felt broken, a weight was lifted after I shared my heart with them. – Whitney
After years of infertility treatments we were interested in getting out of the lifestyle of an infertile couple, and we just wanted to be parents. We reframed what it means to be a family and processed the idea of giving birth/parenting a child not related to us, and decided embryo donation was the best choice. – Maya
For me, there have been many great outcomes from my infertility journey. I have met the strongest and most powerful women who are going through infertility or helped me through my struggle. – Katie
Do what makes you feel beautiful [during infertility treatments]. That might be wearing a pink lipstick, painting your nails with a color like “Fierce, No Fear” by Essie or finding the best concealer for all those early morning appointments. Whatever it is make it your own and love yourself everyday through this process because You Are Beautiful. – Nikol
…Plan B for your family just might have been God’s Plan A all along. – Lois
By being forced to face this struggle I have learned and grown as a woman in ways I would never have done – I have a deep belief that it was all to make me a better person and mother. – Cam & Simone
Sharing my story was good for me too because I was able to put into words my thoughts and feelings that had been buried for so long. – Emily
As much as it hurts that becoming a mother has been hard for me, it has reminded me that many people would give a lot to have had some of the advantages and opportunities that I have had. I hope that going through infertility will help me love others in difficult circumstances. – Maggie
Infertility is overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. – Lauren
I think what got me through these times was my faith that God’s plan is better than mine. I know that His timing is perfect and I believe that He knows how hard infertility is. – Ruth
…We survived by relying on Grace. It was a hard blow to absorb, but we moved forward, hoping that we would someday understand what God had in mind for us. – Emily
I can come to [God] in my most desperate times with all of my ugly cries and my emotions and He can take it. He still loves me and is there to comfort me and hold me up. He never condemns me for coming to Him.- Roxanne
When I’m feeling low I ask, “Can I do anything to change the situation?” With infertility the answer is no, so then I tell myself to try to let it go. Worrying about a something you cannot control will not make the situation better, it will only serve to make you feel bad. Therefore, you have control over how you feel about a situation, and I refuse to be miserable all of the time.- Jenn
This journey of infertility stinks. It threatens to suck the life right out of you, but it doesn’t have to steal your life away. It doesn’t have to steal your compassion away. It doesn’t have to steal your empathy away. It doesn’t have to steal your friendships away…I pray we would find a way to make our pain work FOR us as God intends. – Monica
Find a support group or follow a few nice bloggers. It’s such a great relief more than you’d know! – Aish
[On fundraising for treatments or adoption]…Really push the creativity, tell your story well, be honest, be transparent. – Brandi
I am not being punished [by experiencing infertility]. I am not less loved than others, and neither are you.- Melissa
Don’t stop communicating with your partner. You will likely feel different things at different times, which can be extremely difficult. You might go through what I call “the roommate phase,” where you aren’t connecting on an intimate level. But if you keep those lines of communication open, you will get past it. – Heather
Becoming a parent the “normal” way is stressful enough and with the added stress this puts on us daily, laughter truly is the best and only medicine. – Colleen
I remind myself that God has a plan. I know God may not allow me to get pregnant. I have been angry with him and sorted it out. I learned it is okay to be mad with God as long as I don’t stay there. – April
We can either let this thing break us down, or we can use it to build ourselves up. We can either become bitter and angry, or we can fight hard to find joy. I’m trying hard to choose the joy. – Ally
Speak your truth and don’t be ashamed over something you have no control over. Reach out to others in the community, the best way to get support is to give support. – Jessica
Sometimes our blessings come in unsuspecting and unplanned ways. Sometimes it comes through the joy of a successful positive pregnancy test, sometimes it is through adoption, and sometimes it is through surrender. I don’t know how your story will end, but I believe something beautiful can be made out of the brokenness. – Brandy
