Hello
We've been contacted by a long-time MNer, now posting as uberbarrensclub, who has experience of infertility and is writing a book about the topic. She describes it as 'a book featuring women’s stories about the reality of infertility, inspired by the incredible community of women supporting each other in places like MN.'
To help inform her writing, she's asking women and men with experience of infertility to share their stories with her.
So if you're up for doing that, you can contribute by adding your story here if you're a woman and your story here if you're a man.
You can find out more about the proposed book here. If you've got any questions about the process or about how your stories might be used, you can contact her via her website.
Thanks
MNHQ
EDITED BY MNHQ: The linked surveys include questions about all kinds of pregnancy loss, but also include direct references to infertility and the 'Uber Barrens Club' (see subsequent posts by uberbarrensclub on this thread to explain the context for that name). If you've experienced incidents of miscarriage or pregnancy loss but are still TTC or have gone on to have full-term pregnancies and live births, some of the questions on the surveys will be appropriate for you but there will also be references to infertility and 'Uber Barrens' which you might find upsetting, especially if you're getting over a pregnancy loss. Apologies for not flagging this up more clearly initially.
