Why birthdays suck when you are going through infertility (and how to make them a little less sucky)

Update: 2023-04-04

Description

So, today is my birthday. And although now it is a time for celebration and I am embracing everything that being in your early 40’s throws at you, I am reflecting today on all the birthdays where I had the birthday blues. Where a birthday was just a reminder of my infertility challenges and another year getting older. The tick tick tick in the back of my mind and with each passing year the tick tick tick getting louder and louder.

In this very short ep I talk through why birthdays suck when you are going through infertility and the ways in which you can make them suck a little less.
