Ep. 8 What People Say When You’re Infertile (And What Actually Helps)

When you decide to be open about infertility, you open yourself up to a lot of love… and a lot of opinions.In this episode, we talk through what it’s been like to share our male factor infertility journey publicly with family, friends, coworkers, and the internet. Some responses have meant everything to us. Others… not so much.We unpack common phrases like:“It’ll all work out.”“Everything happens in God’s timing.”“Just expect miracles.”“I know exactly how you feel.”And we talk honestly about why some of those comments can feel minimizing — even when they’re well-intentioned.We also share what has helped. What actually feels supportive. And how to show up for someone walking through infertility (without trying to fix it).If you’ve ever wondered what to say — or what not to say — to someone dealing with infertility, this conversation is for you.And if you’re in it yourself, we hope you feel a little less alone.
