Erica Kaye shares her journey from infertility to motherhood.
Erica Kaye and her husband are pictured with their three children.I wasn't ready to face the corpus and acknowledge its meaning and weight. Instead, I stored it all in my bathroom cupboard, where I could see bits and parts in passing every day.Finally, one afternoon, I lugged out the bins and dumped everything onto the floor. I just wanted to get a sense of the volume at first. But once it was on the ground all around me, I felt pulled to make sense of it.
These are staggering numbers. Odds are that everyone knows someone suffering with infertility or pregnancy loss, whether you know it or not.In recent years, I've seen more women speaking openly about pregnancy loss within informal gatherings and on social media. But fewer people talk openly about their difficult experiences with fertility treatment.
For many, IVF is also financially devastating. Most Americans lack insurance coverage to care for their reproductive issues, and the treatments they need are egregiously cost prohibitive. We could not have afforded to grow our family without the generosity of supportive family members. [In the U.S., the average cost of one IVF cycle can range from $15,000 to $25,000, according to Dr. Jennifer Ashton, ABC News chief medical correspondent and a board-certified OBGYN.
April 23 through 29 is National Infertility Awareness Week. Founded in 1989 by RESOLVE, National Infertility Awareness Week is a public grassroots campaign to reduce stigma and educate our communities about reproductive health and the issues that so many people face when trying to grow their families.
