Cindy Margolis was shocked at how trying to become a mother took her on a "long, rocky, and sometimes heartbreaking journey."
She needed IVF to help her have her son, Nicholas, and used a surrogate mother to have twin daughters, Sabrina and Sierra.
She decided that because her journey was so difficult, she would write a book about the effects the difficulties can have on your psyche. She says, " Doctors don’t really focus on telling you how emotionally draining it can be and they don’t (or at least didn’t in our experience) talk much about how hard infertility can be on your self-esteem and your relationships, they also don’t prepare you for how much harder you will have to work to build your family than the couples who can get pregnant naturally. I wanted to change that. I wanted to talk about those things, answer those questions and remove the stigma of infertility that seemed to keep me from finding the support we desperately needed in our own journey.”
It seems that infertility is so much more common now. Those struggling are so fortunate to have so many options to turn to in trying to fulfill their dreams for a family.
