[quote=Anonymous]I'm so sorry, OP.  My dissertation (now long ago) focused on infertility and its representation, and ironically I subsequently experienced male/female infertility (multiple factors) and ultimately had several miscarriages both with IVF and with a spontaneous pregnancy, ultimately having a successful full-term (spontaneous) pregnancy but also a great deal of PTSD, from the fertility issues, from a horrific birth story, from ... a lot.  I can't say that I've dealt with all of it successfully or unsuccessfully:  indeed, even writing the diss was in and of itself a process that's probably still unresolved . . . .

If you're interested in talking privately offline/online, let me know and send me a burner email or a way to DM/PM you and I'll do same.  I don't have any great resources to share and as I no longer live in the area I don't have any therapists to recommend locally (nor were my fertility specialists local -- plus this was all a decade plus in the past) but I do have broad shoulders, a good ear, and a lot of sym/em-pathy.  I also understand that writing both awakens and resurrects the challenges (and there is a CRUCIAL difference between awakens and resurrects ...) and that you not be ready for either one right now.

I'm terribly sorry for what you're dealing with and what you have dealt with, and I applaud you for seeking help.

Hang in and take care.[/quote]
