[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, brave to share.[/quote]

Some things are private and your infertility is one of them![/quote]

to each their own. i am personally glad she shared.[/quote]

I am so happy she shared this information! [b]Especially for African American women.  African American women often hide infertility and would be ashamed to admit they had infertility issues.[/b] This is a huge reveal that I think will do so much for black women trying to have children and having the same struggles.[/quote]

I was coming here to say just this.  I have heard a couple people (not many) imply that we black women are more fertile, and that infertility is a white women's thing.  Clearly it is not, as we see from Michelle Obama, Gabrielle Union, and others, and getting it more out in the open is important to do.  I luckily didn't have issues myself, but have had friends confide that they had miscarriages or trouble conceiving.[/quote]

Ditto. African-American here who went through infertility and miscarriages twice and come from a family where everyone has 2-3 kids without trying. “But Grandma had 10 kids!”[/quote]
